Stitch Pattern

This is a variation of the Lemon Peel stitch, you alternate making a single crochet and a double crochet all the way across the row. In this modified version, you alternate between 3 sc and 3 dc instead.

Place each single crochet in the double crochet stitches of the previous row and place each double crochet in the single crochet stitches of the previous row.

Since we will alternate colors in every row, the best way to avoid cutting tails is to carry both yarns along the row. I promise that this will not add volume, and I will make the pieces flawless.
Please note that 3 chains count as DC at the beginning of the row.

Color changing:
Before closing the last dc, join color B and complete st with color B.
