This counted cross stitch pattern by Caterpillar Cross Stitch reimagines the American flag as a modern sampler — each red and blue stripe is broken into a mosaic of tiny motifs, from stars and hearts to a bold "250 YEARS" banner marking the anniversary. It's a satisfying one to stitch in sections, since every little block feels like its own mini project within the bigger design.

The design is available as a printed hardcopy pattern. If you want to get up and stitching quickly, save yourself the time of collecting all the supplies and purchase one of our bundle options which include the pattern along with fabric, thread, and needles.
