I need some help with this pattern, I have enlarged the filet pattern as stated in the pattern. But I think the pattern might be wrong on the count of stitches. So my question is the written pattern does not match the pattern chart.

Example row 2 and 3

Row 2: Ch 2, tr 27, ch 1, sk 1, tr 31, ch 1, sk 1, tr 28 and turn.

Row 3: Ch 2, tr 25, ch 1, sk 1, tr 3, ch 1, sk 1, tr 27, ch 1, sk 1, tr 3, ch 1, sk 1, tr 26 and turn.

Now the chart blocks white ones do they represent stitches ? If so when you come to the black block that is the ch 1 sk 1 do you count the next st as the start of the group of stitches? I have frogged out the first 6 rows at least20 times. I am not a beginner crocheter. I consider myself advanced but this written to chart is confusing. Hope that is clear what I am asking.
