"Chicken scratch" embroidery is a lacy-like embroidery technique worked on gingham. It's called a number of other things besides "chicken scratch" - depression embroidery (as in "Depression era"), tenneriffe lace, snowflake embroidery or lace, gingham lace, or Amish embroidery.

It involves only about three or four types of stitches - the running stitch, the cross stitch, the double cross stitch, and (if you want to consider it a separate stitch), the threaded running stitch.
