Day 242: Diagonal Stripe Bargello Needlepoint Design

This bargello needlepoint line design forms a diagonal stripe with varying stitch lengths.

Found on page 42 in Bargello Is Easy by Peri Wolfman, pattern stitches are worked in a 4-2 step in groups of two from the top left of the canvas to the bottom right.

I’m in an overdyed thread phase, so I used Needle Necessities Overdyed Floss and Splendor Silk to work the Bargello design.

Interesting Tidbit: Bargello Is Easy

Peri Wolfman lists materials you’ll need and shows how to make pillows, handbags, eyeglass cases, belts—including finishing.
