Pattern help

[Sylvie Evergreen]

I am trying to figure out what "skip over" means in the following round

 

12th round: Crochet 1 tr, 26 ch, skip over 26 tr, *1 tr, 3 ch, skip over 2 tr*, repeat from *-* a total of 14 times, 1 tr, 26 ch, skip 26 tr, *1 tr, 3 ch, skip 2 tr*, repeat from *-* until finish round = 48 tr.

 

Does it mean that I should chain 26 and skip over that many triple crochet, Or that I should chain 26 and then triple crochet 26? This is a jacket pattern that has been worked in the round up until this point. Which is meant to be binding off for arm holes. Here is a link to the pattern as a whole

It is a bit awkward to read but any help would be much appreciated.

You should chain 26 and then skip over that many triple crochet.  The chains will be the foundation chain for the arm hole.

Great. Thank you. I'll use that as a future reference for arm holes like these. I was surprised at how easy this pattern has worked out up until now. I've only used up one skein. Hopefully the next two will be enough yarn. Wish me luck.
