First of all as a person who has been crocheting for over 45 years, you tell the people the number to chain. Second of all this isn't a hard pattern to read so no I would not say it's hard to do. If they follow the pattern it's really not hard to do. If the person has a problem reading a pattern then you should also add the picture of how it goes. Thank you.

  I would think 25. If you dc in fourth chain that's (4) then dc in each of next (9) that's (13) then 3 dc in next (1)sc that's (14) Then dc in nect (11) that's (25) . That's how I would start.
