Stuck on pattern

[katiekidney]

Hi, i’m new to reading crochet patterns so i have no idea if i’m doing this right.

The pattern is in the picture!

Ive chained the 93, but i’m stuck on the foundation row.

The way i’ve been doing it is: Double crochet into 3rd chain, then adding an extra chain on top, skipping the next chain in row, then double crocheting into the chain after the skip. 

This seems right to me but there’s giant holes in it and on the reference picture there doesn’t seem to be holes?

Can someone please help me.

Sounds like you are doing it right.  Any time you chain and skip you are making holes.  There are multiple factors that would affect the size of the holes---your tension, size hook used and the yarn itself.
