Textured designs to copy
It’s easier than you may think to
copy designs from a chart to
needlepoint canvas. Bargello,
pavillion diamonds and long-stitch
borders in fact are often worked on
blank canvas.
In the “Geese on Pastels” design
shown, only the geese are printed
on canvas. All borders and
background stitches are copied
from the chart included with the
kit.
To order Kit D-2257, including
Persian wool yarn, needle, chart,
14-mesh canvas and instructions,

Long-stitch patterns are popular
today because they add exciting
three-dimensional texture to the
simplest designs. Also, because the
stitches are so much faster to do
than traditional needlepoint, a
long-stitch canvas works up sur
prisingly quickly.
Long-stitch is ideal for borders
as well as pictures. In the design
shown, the long-stitch border,
bargello border and pavillion
diamond backround are all simple

repeat patterns. A chart,
therefore, is only necessary in
starting patterns, separating
design sections and working
comers.
When copying designs onto
canvas from a separate printed
chart, the lines in the chart
represent the threads in your
canvas. By counting one graph line
for each canvas thread, you’ll
know where to start each design,
and each section and break for
comers.
If you wish to try a textured
design, here are directions for
long-stitch and pavillion diamonds.
LONG STITCH: 1: To anchor
yam, stitch 1 inch of yam through
canvas at top edge of area to be
covered. 2. Following illustration
(a), come up at “A” and down at
“B,” and so on, until area is
covered. 3. Work top borders
vertially and side borders
horizontally.
PAVILLION DIAMONDS: 1.
Work fist diamond according to
illustration (b). 2. Skip a canvas
hole to begin the next diamond. 3.
Repeat Step 2 to complete a row of
diamonds. 4. Work the second row
of diamonds according to
illustration (c).
HINTS: 1. In working adjacent
design areas, always work from
unstitched areas toward stitched
areas. 2. In most cases, work
pictures first. 3. Work background
around pictures, using shorter
stitches as necessary to fit around
edges of picture.
