Bargello is originally a type of needlepoint embroidery consisting of upright flat stitches laid in a mathematical pattern to create motifs. It has been translated into patchwork, using the varying widths of pieces to create dramatic waves, twists and stripes.

The needlework style of bargello has been around in crochet for a while, but the patchwork style of bargello is new to crochet, and using simple stitches and a bit of maths can mimic this vibrant, almost 3D art style.
