Feel the Texture of the Diagonal Weave Stitch
One of the joys I find in crochet is discovering stitches that challenge what I thought this technique could do. Textured post stitches like this Diagonal Weave Stitch are produced with multi-row repeats of front and back post stitches. The result is a fabric that gently guides your eye over the peaks and valleys within this stitch pattern.
