very basic question

Hi I'm new and a bit of a beginner…
To start a chain you do the basic knot… then you chain 1.. that is the first chain, right.?. You don't count the loop from the beginning knot, right?

I was following a tutorial pattern.. "start with 49 chains.. but she showed the knot as the first chain.

Such a basic question.. am I making sense?

Thank you for your help!

After you have the loop on the hook. The NEXT one will be ONE.

The same goes when you are asked to put a stitch in the chain... example 5th stitch from hook. You don't count the one on the hook... you start from the one under the hook.

I hope that made it clear.
