My friend Phyllis stitched this mini-sock from the patterns in Bargello Revisited. I just love it. Not only is it made from my very favorite family of colors of Silk & Ivory, it is such a classic pattern. BTW, the darkest shade here, Pomegranite, is my favorite color of all, maybe I should take it when I next go look for paint.
The pattern is simple, the stitches all go over four threads and move up in step of two threads. The pattern reverses itself to make both convex and concave curves. This kind of pattern is one of the enduring staples of Bargello.
If you’ve never tried Bargello, this is the place to start.
Finally, my thanks to my friend, Phyllis, for stitching this model for me.
