Day 68: Zigzag Double Peak Bargello Design

Dorothy Phelan writes in Traditional Bargello that the Zigzag Double Peak Bargello Design is a good preparation for working Hungarian point.

The Bargello pattern is found on pp. 58-59.

When working this design, completely stitch each row before going to the next, or you will lose your place in the pattern.

Each successive stitch shares one horizontal mesh of the canvas with its neighbors.

Madeira Mouline Egyptian Cotton Embroidery Floss was used in three shades of green, two purple and one white.
