Pattern description
The Buddhist Flag's vibrant vertical stripes translate beautifully into counted cross stitch, offering an intermediate stitcher a striking study in color blocking and precision. Using just five DMC thread colors—brilliant blues, sunny yellow, deep red, crisp white, and warm orange—this 119×119 stitch design captures the flag's iconic palette with bold, clean impact. The geometric clarity makes it ideal for framing as a spiritual wall piece or gifting to meditation practitioners, while the moderate stitch count keeps the project manageable without sacrificing visual presence or meaning.
