Bargello

Bargello – Bargello embroidery, also known as Florentine embroidery, was extremely popular in the 1970s. Embroidering from dark to light or light to dark creates a beautiful sense of depth. In addition to the use of color, the repetition of the pattern is also characteristic of this technique.
The collection of patterns in this book brings bargello embroidery into the modern era. The modern, colorful projects are vibrant and full of contrast, sometimes featuring bright neon hues and striking color gradients. The wavy patterns can be used on items such as cushions, bags, belts, and wallets.
The designs are organized by difficulty level and include easy-to-follow diagrams. At the back of the book, you’ll find border patterns, ideas for adding extra texture with specialty yarns, and a freestyle collection that combines multiple techniques.
