Intersecting Corners is a variation of our earlier “Diverging Corners” chart that was inspired by a fabric image shared by Deborah Jean Cohen. An interesting mix of tabby sections linked by twill diagonals create a flexible, scrunchable fabric that is mostly flat and even.
The diagonal twill lines (which are horizontal and vertical in the hanging position) are evident on the potholder surface.
Look how easily you can scrunch the potholder in your hand.
Highlighting the over(under)-2s before beginning to weave reveals the diagonal pattern of twill lines, in 3 alternating zig-zags. The potholder will bias around those lines, so it flexes in many directions.
The first 3 rows lock in the pattern.

This chart is complicated enough that I mark my progress as I weave to help my eye track on the correct row.

9 rows and the chart-in-progress.
