Slow Stitch Chicken Tutorial - Cross stitch finishing technique prosperity hens garland

Hey everyone, welcome to my corner!

In this video I'm going to show you how to take any small square cross stitch and turn it into a prosperity hen/chicken. You can find this chicken pattern in my Kristi's Corner Needlework Etsy shop, and a limited number of finishing packs (dropping 2/15/25) on my Spoolery Etsy Shop.

This tutorial is a modification of a biscornu tutorial by @TinyModernist  You can find the original video at https://youtu.be/H3Kx1k0LxDs
