The third design in my Twelve Days of Christmas embroidery series, featuring Three French Hens. A festive PDF pattern set that includes full step-by-step instructions for stitching and finishing as an ornament or holiday art hoop.
Bring Christmas tradition to life with this Three French Hens Hand Embroidery PDF Pattern, inspired by The Twelve Days of Christmas. This charming third design features three uniquely colored hens arranged in a rounded ornament layout with a bright poinsettia centerpiece, perfect for cozy holiday stitching.
This pattern is slightly more detailed than Day 1 and Day 2, making it an enjoyable intermediate-level project — or a delightful challenge for beginners who enjoy slower, detailed stitching.
Use it to create a hanging ornament for your tree, garland, or gift wrapping, or stitch it as a 5”~6" hoop art piece to display in your holiday decor.
Two PDF files included:
Pattern-Specific Embroidery & Sewing Guide
Step-by-step instructions for stitching the hens
Ornament finishing + holiday art hoop instructions
Color guide & stitch map with placement visuals
Basic Embroidery Knowledge Guide
Essential stitches with diagrams
Materials overview & transfer tips
I have a quick video tutorials for each process of this ornament.
