Bargello, also known as Florentine work, dates from the 17th century, and is
canvaswork craft worked in wools or silks. It is characterized by parallel lines
of straight stitches in wave", "flame" or similar formations. Part of the beauty
of Bargello lies in the simplicity of the stitch. The repeat patterns build into
designs which often have a three-dimensional effect. The book includes 34 stitch
patterns, incorporating colour photographs, charts and instructions, providing
a mixture of traditional and contemporary designs to suit all tastes. Advice is
given on suitable canvas, needles, and choosing yarn, and suggestions are given
for applications of the finished Bargello pieces."

This is not my scan and some charts are sideways. However, the charts are quite
usable and it has lots of photos. I have made several projects already. The book
goes for quite a bit on Amazon.
