Pattern Help Please - Red Heart Double Knitting Pot Holder

https://www.knittinghelp.com/c/free-knitting-patterns-heart-double-knit-hot-pad

As a complete newbie to double knitting, I thought I’d give this a go. However, when I printed out the chart I’ve realised that although I’ve cast on 30 stitches, the chart is only for 29 stitches. Have I lost the plot, should I not include the first slip stitch??
Any help at all would be gratefully received. Thanks Jude

Welcome to KnittingHelp!
Several of the Ravelry project knitters have worked this and recommend casting on 31sts. That accounts for the 29 chart sts plus a slip stitch at the beginning of each row. Purl the last stitch of the row with both colors.
