Do you love Bargello? I do. In fact it was one of the first needlepoint techniques I did and I still love it. I was noticing in the last couple of days, some of the oldest pillows I have I made in Bargello back in the 70’s (oh those colors!) The wools are still vibrant and the patterns lovely. Bargello is simple to do. It’s made up of straight stitches,often going over four threads. One or more stitches is in a step. The steps move up and down in a regular pattern. The shades and/or colors progress in a regular pattern as well. Once you stitch the first row, Bargello is just following the pattern. At least most of the time. This makes it very smoothing and relaxing. There aren’t too many Bargello books out there, but lots were published in the 70’s. Look for them in used bookstores. My
