In the second row shown in the video (at approx 04:50), the pattern states 'skip 1 puff-stitch + 1 chain stitch, work 1 treble crochet in next treble crochet'. It looks in the video like a puff stitch is missed but then a treble crochet is worked into the chain stitch instead of missing the chain stitch and working into the next treble crochet. Please advise on this. Thanks.

Dear Roro, crochet 1 treble crochet in the treble crochet from previous row, 1 chain stitch, then crochet 1 puff stitch in the skipped chain stitch (before the treble crochet from previous row). Happy crocheting!

Work 1 double crochet in each off the 3 next stitches. Repeat the puff stitch and the 3 double crochets the entire row and finish the row with a double crochet in the last stitch, turn and start next row. Crochet 3 chain stitches (= 1 double crochet).
