Pattern description
The US Flag cross-stitch pattern captures the iconic patriotic symbol in a compact, stitchable format that's perfect for needlework enthusiasts of all backgrounds. This 30 × 30 stitch counted cross-stitch design distills the classic red, white, and blue into just two DMC thread colors, making it an efficient project that doesn't sacrifice visual impact. The small scale creates an intimate embroidery experience, allowing you to complete your patriotic needlework in a single sitting or over a relaxing weekend. With such a manageable stitch count and limited color palette, you'll spend more time enjoying the meditative rhythm of stitching rather than managing multiple thread changes.
Ideal for beginner-level stitchers, this free printable PDF chart comes with a complete DMC color key for easy reference as you work. The pattern is designed for standard Aida fabric, the most accessible material for counted cross-stitch embroidery, making it an excellent first project or a quick addition to your needlework collection. Download the chart today and have everything you need to begin your patriotic embroidery adventure—no paid subscriptions or complicated instructions required.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
