Chicken Family

A spring farmyard scene: a rooster with a blue-green tail, a brown hen and three chicks among flowering daffodils and crocuses. It is worked in counted cross stitch from the chart, so you need to be comfortable counting squares and placing the design; 14 count Aida has clearly visible holes and stitches up quickly, even for those with little experience.

The kit holds everything you need to stitch, but the frame shown in the photo is not included: you will also want a hoop or frame to keep the fabric taut while you work, and a made-to-measure frame once it is finished. The subject suits a kitchen or a country-style home.
