Help with Flamenco Wrap pattern

[Harvestar]

The pattern is:

and talked about:

I've been wanting to do this pattern for a long time! I finally got some yarn for it yesterday (Dive` Glitter), printed out the pattern, and sat down to play.

 

Alas, I got completely confused by the instructions.

 

The pattern says:

"With crochet hook and yarn, make a chain a little longer than desired final length. Make sure the total number of stitches is a multiple of 4+1

Turn

 

Row 1: *Ch 5, sc in 4th ch from hook* across

Turn"

 

I understand about the first part (making the chain), it's just the Row 1 instructions. If I follow those as I think I should, I never actually put any stitches into the original chain. From looking at some other patterns, and the pictures, should it be "*Ch 5, sc in 4th ch from starting place* across" (since you're supposed to make loops?)

 

Any advice is appreciated!

Yes, I think it would be *ch5, sk 3 chs, sc in 4th sc* across

yes you are to make loops but you are to make the start stitches IN the chain
