In this pattern, you always work on the right side. The one thing I don't care for in this pattern is that you fasten off your yarn at the end of every row leaving lots of ends to work back in after you finish crocheting. Other than that, I love this pattern. I found it fun to crochet and I love the unique look it produces.

In the sample above the blue yarn is color A and the white yarn is color B.

Two colors of any weight yarn with the appropriate size crochet hook. Our sample was made using worsted weight yarn and a size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook.
