With an operating tower, your traffic pattern can be
whatever you and the tower can agree on at the moment. Right traffic, left traffic, straight in, are all OK if approved. You can ask for a take-off on 1R and do a left turn and get the option on 17R, next time around, teardrop and land on 31 and then do an cross over at mid-field to a left downwind full stop on 19L because it a closer taxi. I've this type of creative traffic pattern at Wichita, Tulsa Int'l and also fit into arriving airplane traffic while doing multiengine training doing steep turns and close traffic to avoid the final approach to the active runways. Ask and you shall receive. But see and avoid and right of way still applies.
