Day 187: Cloisters Bargello Needlepoint Design

One of the neat things about Bargello Magic by Pauline Fischer and Anabel Lasker, is the way the Bargello designs are named.

Today’s 4-1 step Bargello pattern, found on page 85, is an adaptation of Day 184. The striking things about this design alteration are the red and white accent stitches that alternate every third row.

I used Silk n’ Ivory to stitch the entire Bargello design.

Interesting Tidbit: Bargello Magic

The heart of Bargello Magic is the section on Principles of Design, where you learn how to vary patterns, create new designs and repeats, adapt drawings and paintings, and create custom textiles.
