About this pattern

Learn the art of Bargello with this downloadable bookmark tutorial.

Embrace a life of easy-reading with help from the brightly coloured bookmark project. Traditionally stitched in wool or on canvas, Bargello embroidery is created from upright stitches laid out in simple mathematical patterns. Putting a modern twist on a creative classic, Amanda Walker has used a plastic canvas for the base for this colourful bookmark design.

Essentials

Plastic canvas, ten count
Tapestry yarn
Embroidery needle, size 20
Needle threader
Fine beading wire

Top sewing tip

Although it is fun to choose fresh colours from the vast array of tapestry yarns available, you could use this as an opportunity to use up yarn scraps in a similar weight.
