About this pattern

The six-stripe rainbow pride flag, laid flat: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet from the top, each stripe four rows deep and level from edge to edge. A dark brown border one stitch wide runs all the way round it, corners included. The flag is three wide to two deep and stitched solid, a size for a small sew-on patch or a card. The left half mirrors the right exactly. Full crosses only. It is 38 by 26 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

38 stitches wide by 26 high: 988 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Medium Violet 552, Bright Red 666, Bright Green 700 and 4 more).
