Row 16 gives you 4 + 17 + 1 + 17 + 4 = 43 stitches
Chart 2 gives you the 12 row repeat AND the 12 stitch repeat with end stitches. So, Row 1 - 4 border stitches, place marker (colour A), 4 edge stitches (in pattern), place marker (colour B), 12 stitches in pattern repeat, place marker (colour B), 3 edge stitches (O K O), place marker (colour A), knit 1 (centre stitch), place marker (colour A), [repeat Row 1 as charted as follows] 4 edge stitches, place marker (colour B), 12 stitch repeat, place marker (colour B), 3 edge stitches, place marker (colour A), 4 border stitches.
The 12 stitch repeat will remain constant within the markers (colour B) for the 12 rows of the row repeat. When finished the 12 row repeat you will have 67 stitches, enough for two 12 stitch repeats each side of the centre stitch, so Row 13 (first row of second row repeat) will look like: 4 border stitches, marker A, 4 edge stitches, marker B, 12 stitch repeat, marker B, 12 stitch repeat, marker B, 3 edge stitches, marker A, centre stitch, marker A, 4 edge stitches, marker B, 12 stitch repeat, marker B, 12 stitch repeat, marker B, 3 edge stitches, marker A, 4 border stitches. [4 increases with YOs over = 67 stitches].
Each time you complete the 12 ROW repeat you will have sufficient new stitches to create another 12 STITCH repeat on EACH SIDE of the centre stitch. You will end up with 10 of the 12 stitch repeats on EACH side of the centre stitch.

Hope this helps. Do post again if it's still confusing. It's a very pretty scarf.
