Day 243: Hearts and Peaks Bargello Needlepoint Design

A deceptively easy bargello needlepoint line design, today’s pattern forms hearts and peaks in two colors with each stitch stepping up or down one across the canvas.

Found on page 52 in Bargello Is Easy by Peri Wolfman, it is mostly worked over 7 stitches, and is the last bargello design I will use from this small but impactful bargello needlepoint book.

I used J.L. Walsh Silk Wool and Silk n’ Ivory to work the bargello design.

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