This interesting pattern is using A, B, C differently. A is worked for a single row in 2 places; B and C begin their pair rows from opposite ends. The variation mixes 2 hand-dyed colors beautifully, breaking stripes into individual blocks of color. One solid yarn ties everything together, offering both a main color and a visual relief to frame the hand dyes.
