Chickens embroidery pattern (with optional Stick & Stitch pack)
My daughter used to raise chickens and I loved listening to their happy clucking as they scratched outside the window of my studio.
If you love chickens too, then this is the embroidery pattern for you. 🥰
I designed it to be easy to pull out individual elements. Stitch the rooster on one tea towel, and hens and chicks on others. Stitch a row of baby chicks around the hem of an apron. Stitch one image on a T-shirt or onesie. You can even skip the stitching and use the designs to make a card! Have fun!
You have two purchase options. Choose your format in the drop-down menu.
A PDF pattern, delivered instantly and ready to print onto letter-size paper or Sulky Stick & Stitch. No shipping costs and no waiting! If you're not sure what a PDF pattern is, you'll find more info here.
A PDF pattern AND a set of these motifs already printed on Sulky Stick & Stitch. You'll get the PDF pattern instantly. The Stick & Stitch pack will arrive in the mail. (Sorry, this option is only available within the US.)
How the Stick & Stitch works...
Stick - the motif onto whatever you want to embroider
Stitch - right through the stabilizer and fabric
Soak - away the stabilizer
You're left with a beautifully stitched motif with no stray marks and no pattern transfer.
Easy peasy!
Your Stitch & Stick pack includes a postcard with suggested DMC color palettes on one side, and a link to detailed instructions (including video stitch tutorials) on the other side.
You get four 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" sheets of Sulky Stick & Stitch printed with a total of 21 motifs.
The digital PDF pattern includes the pattern in color, in black and white, and a reversed image in block and white, three suggested color palettes with DMC numbers, plus two pages of links to video tutorials for all my favorite stitches.
The digital pattern is great if you want to resize the motifs, or use the same motif more than once.
Add some chickens to your flock right now. :-)

Size
The largest rooster is 3 3/4 inches wide and 4 inches tall. The single unhatched egg is 7/8 inches wide and 5/8 inches tall.

Difficulty
It depends on the stitches you choose! You can use the four beginner stitches I suggest and make it very easy, or you can use some of the more complex stitches in the tutorials and make it a skill stretcher. It's up to you!
