Only one colour is used on each row, alternating between Colour A and Colour B. Yarn is cut at the end of each row.
The design is created using Back Loop Single Crochet stitches together with Front Loop Double Crochet stitches worked two rows below, producing the characteristic layered mosaic effect.
For the clearest finished design, choose two colours with a good level of contrast.
