Diagonal weave stitch would make a relatively bulky project. Here, I used a thin yarn to make a scarf for my 2 years old nephew. At the beginning, I thought that the scarf would wrinkle but it came out pretty well.
This pattern is formed of multiples of 5 of both front post and back post double crochet, plus two double crochet stitches; one on each side of the each row
Difficulty: intermediate.
Abbreviations:
Ch : chain
Dc: double crochet
Fpdc: front post double crochet
Bpdc: Back post double crochet
