A chevron stitch in crochet is a wavy line. This is formed in multiple of from 6 to 12 stitches. The top is formed by increasing, the bottom is formed by decreasing.
Another word for chevron might be ripple stitch. There are hundreds of different ways to make a ripple. To decide how many stitches you need, you need to decide what pattern you are going to make.
The top of the ripple is called the hill and the bottom is the valley. The hill is generally formed by increasing as noted above. The valley can be formed by decreasing or it can be formed by skipping stitches. The number of stitches used to form the valley can vary as can the number of stitches skipped.
Before figuring your foundation chain, you need to decide how many stitches you want between hill and valley.
I discuss figuring out the foundation chain for a ripple at Crochet Cabana, using the skip stitch method, but the same general idea could be used for another method.
Generally, once you know what you want, it is fairly straight forward to figure out how many stitches you need to begin with. Don't forget to account for turning chains.

What does 'Chain 4 then make single turning chain' in a crochet pattern mean?
In crochet, because stitches have "height" (where in knitting stitch height isn't much of an issue), crocheters add chain stitches to the end of a row to add height, in order to begin the next row.So, in your instructions, chain 4, then make a single turning chain, would mean to add another chain, turn your work so that you could then begin crocheting the second row. You would then insert your hook into the second chain from the hook and crochet the next stitch (which is going to be a single crochet--sc--due to only using one turning chain)There is a standard turning chain number, depending on the stitch you are going to use in the next row. [the link shows how many turning chains for each crochet stitch].For a:slip stitch = 0 turning chainsingle crochet = 1 turning chainhalf double crochet = 2 turning chainsdouble crochet = 3 turning chainstriple crochet = 4 turning chainsand so on.You see that as the stitch height grows, so do the number of chain stitches in your turning chain.

How many single crochet stitches with a 5.5ml hook in a size 7.5 hat?
It depends on the size of yarn you're using (thicker less stitches and thin more stitches) and what your crochet tension is (gauge). Usually a pattern will indicate how many stiches should be in an inch. If not, single crochet an inch or two with the hook and yarn you intend to use and then measure an inch and count how many stiches are in that inch. If your pattern does not have a gauge for a size 7.5 hat, I'd use your 1 inch crocheted gauge square to measure around and up a size 7.5 hat you already know fits and use multiplication from those results to determine stiches per row and how many rows. If you're talking size
