This pattern is worked from the front, from right to left, with single crochet (SC) on the top row back loop, and double crochet (DC) in the row below of the same color. Each row alternates between color A and color B. The chart shows a numbered column on the beginning and end of each row, indicating the color you will be crocheting the entire row with, either A or B. These columns also count as your border stitches.
The diamond outline color A is indicated by white, and the background is indicated by purple in the chart. The design example uses bronze (color A) and black (color B). You can use any combination of contrasting colors to create this design.
