Did not chain

Instead of chaining, I SC in BLO (the back loop when the right side of the work is facing you) throughout. Did not chain 1 for turning CH. I turned and SC under both loops of first SC.
Border is two rows of SC

Carried the yarn up. I had to weave approximately 7 strands of yarn since I just crochet over most of my ends.
