free pattern from Bargello Needlepoint
I know you’ve heard of Four-way Bargello, and maybe even Eight-way Bargello, but have you tried Two-way Bargello? I haven’t and I’m going to make this delightful free pattern from Bargello Needlepoint now, as in today. I can’t wait to try it out.
The principles behind all these types of “folded” Bargello is the same. Make some lines in you area and turn the Bargello pattern 90 degrees at each line.
When you make the lines from corner to corner in a square or rectangle (as Liz Morrow showed us) you get Four-way Bargello, and the pattern make a square or rectangle. When you add lines connecting the center of each side, you get Eight-way Bargello, which I’ve only done as eight-pointed stars.
Make just one line and you get Two-way Bargello> I have seen Two-way once before, done with a straight line across the “Equator” of the piece and it didn’t excite me one little bit. Going from corner to corner, I just love Althea’s design, it’s so dynamic.
I like that it has a real direction and so much excitement. I’m thinking I’m going to stitch it in a lively warm colors combination. Thanks so much for posting this!
