Row 1:
- Chain 4 more (total 104) and turn your work.

- Repeat: [chain 4, slip stitch into next chain-4 space] until the last space.

Rows 3-6: Follow instructions for Row 2 until you complete 7 rows or the base is approximately 5 cm (2 inches) wide.
Final Row of Base:

- Slip stitch into each chain-4 space until the end.

Border

Part 1 (Longest Edge):

Attach yarn at the right corner of the longest edge.
Row 1: Slip stitch into every stitch along this edge, excluding the chain-4 stitches from the starting chain.
Row 2: Chain 1, turn, then slip stitch into the back loops only.
Row 3: Repeat Row 2.

Part 2 (Remaining Edges):

Chain 1 and slip stitch twice into the border just created.
