About this pattern

A heart filled edge to edge with the Union Jack, the flag of the United Kingdom. A broad upright red cross with a white edge meets in the middle of the heart, and narrower red diagonals, also edged in white, run out into the two lobes and down to the sides over a navy blue field. This is the simplified flag: the red diagonals are centered in the white, where the real flag sets them a little off center, so the left half of the heart mirrors the right exactly. A dark brown outline runs all the way round and nothing is written on it. Stitched solid. Full crosses only.

43 stitches wide by 41 high: 1,198 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Red 321, Winter White 3865, Navy Blue 336 and 1 more).
