Bargello Needlepoint Patterns Ideas: Step-By-Step Guide DIY Crochet

Needlepoint is worked one stitch at a time on even-weave canvas and is easy to learn. If you are new to needlepoint, this book is basic things you need to know to get started with your first project.
In just a few hours you will be creating easy needlepoint pieces you'll be proud to display or wear.
Only stitches which adequately cover the canvas have been included in this versatile collection. No warp threads are allowed to show through, so why let canvas show in needlepoint? Enhance and individualize your needlepoint projects with expert advice on a host of exquisite stitches: rep stitch; fancy cross stitch; Renaissance stitch; cross stitch; Herringbone stitch; shaded stripe stitch; double stitch; mosaic stitch; French stitch; Greek stitch; velvet stitch; closed cat stitch; and scores more.
The author explains precisely where and how to make best use of each stitch (as a filling stitch in small areas, as a background or a grounding pattern), and tells whether each is slow or quick to work up and whether it's best on mono or two-thread canvas. No stitch combinations have been included, just the fundamental stitch. Think up your own combinations – there are hundreds of them!
Whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced needleworker, give your needlepoint a vibrant new look with this modestly priced, indispensable reference work.
