Answer
"dc in next ch-1 sp,ch 3, 3 dc over the last dc made"

You are going to make a dc in the ch1 space, then chain 3,
Then you are going to put 3 dc all in the top of that dc you made just before the chain 3.  You do that by taking your hook back just a little bit and putting it into the top of the stitch just below your chains.
