Tips for the Serrated Edge
Qatar's flag features a unique serrated line between the white and maroon sections, created with nine zigzag points. Work this edge with tapestry crochet, counting carefully to keep each point identical. The maroon, known as Qatar red or addaam, is a deep brownish red, so choose a rich burgundy yarn for authenticity.
