Today’s Bargello needlepoint chevron pattern seems to interlock rather than stand out alone as in yesterday’s pattern.

There are some additional differences as well–the lower edge of the design has nine 4-2 step pairs that make the motif slightly larger.

The pattern for this design can be found on pages 68-69 of Bargello: An Explosion In Color by Margaret Boyles. I used 4 shades of rich red–from dark to light, for a fiery effect!
