Pattern description
This 30×30 counted cross-stitch pattern captures the American flag in crisp primary colors—deep blue and bold red against a light background. The design uses just two DMC thread colors, making it an ideal beginner project that delivers patriotic impact without complexity. The blocky, pixelated composition is characteristic of small-count Aida needlework, where each cross stitch forms the flag's iconic stripes and canton.
Perfect for stitchers new to embroidery, this flag design requires only basic cross-stitch technique and minimal color management. The generous 30-stitch dimensions work beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric, producing a finished piece roughly 2×2 inches—small enough for a quick weekend project or large enough to frame as a patriotic accent. It makes a thoughtful gift for military families, civic occasions, or anyone celebrating American heritage.
