Ooh sounds difficult.
Maybe explain it before hand saying that the first sc in the inc is in (color 1) and the second is in (color 2).
Then if you need to change back just tell them that.
Or write it like this:
Everything in parentheses in this Round is in the same stitch.
Color 1 is in lowercase and Color 2 is in BOLD.
(1 sc, 1 SC)

Here’s an example of what I would write:
(Inc)x2 in color A, (inc)x4 in color B, etc.
Or if you mean:
’Every other st you should CC to color B and back to color A’
*picture of how it should look like *
Hope you understand what I mean!!

you could say that all barts in brown are in squware brakets and then write it like (sc, [sc]) as in the ( ) brakets mean done in one st and [ ] mean crocheted in brown hope this helps!

like Highlandcowcrochet and lydiaiscool said, i would probably do something like: {sc, sc} - with {} meaning in one stitch, and the ** meaning do it in the second color :)

I would probably write it like this assuming you were already using cream and going to keep crocheting with brown after:

“sc in next st, change to brown, sc in same st”

You could say like * however many sc you have to do before inc, * (sc, change to brown, sc in the same stitch), * more sc *
And if you want it to be more clear you could add a photo or say beforehand “all the inc will have one sc in cream and the 2nd sc in brown.”
