To make the roof border, sc in every st where the house color and the roof color meet. You will
have a new round of sc. Continue in this manner:
Sl st., ch 2, IN THE SAME STITCH, proceed as if you will make a double crochet, but DO NOT
COMPLETE the stitch. Instead, leave 2 loops unworked in the hook and repeat the process.
