Pattern Link: https://www.tatreezandtea.com/shop/friendsof

Motif: First Intifada Flag

Supplies: A minimum of 4”x4” Aida Cloth Cross Stitch Cloth, 11-14 Count, Any Color (though black is notably challenging for a beginner), 1 Tapestry Needle, Size 22-24, embroidery scissors/any small scissors, Red, Green, Black and White DMC pearl cotton size 8 (if your fabric is white, you can skip the white thread).

A Note on Colors: I am not going to specify which color of embroidery thread to use, because I do not want to encourage purchasing new supplies. If you have red pearl cotton on hand, please just use that red. It is best to use what you have, and there is no need to purchase more. Don’t worry about “traditional colors”. The most traditional color is the one you have and will not waste. 🙂
