I am having an issue with a Japanese amigurumi chart that I found. I understand how to read it but I have noticed that there is a ch symbol before the number of the row eg
xxxxxxxxx0
.10xxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxx0
.9xxxxxxxxxxxxx
now does this mean I add 1 chain at the beginning of the row, or at the end or not at all?

Arrrrrrr
I have tried adding it at the beginning of the row but then each round has 1 extra stitch when I count.
I am really confused.
