Because of its jagged pattern, today’s Bargello Challenge design is better suited for large needlepoint projects like throw cushions and chair covers.
Found on pp.28-29 in Florentine Embroidery by Barbara Muller, the 4-3 step Bargello pattern has triple peaks with a scalloped swag on either side.
I worked the peaks as the center focus for my sample; but the full design can be seen on page 28.
It seemed fitting to use wool to work the design; so tapestry yarn, Persian wool and Silk n’ Ivory were my choices.

Today’s Bargello pattern could also be worked in a 4-2 step, which would make the curves flatter and more gentle. |
