still need help

i got this from Ripples for Baby. its from Leisure Arts little book. seems to be rather common. if you happen to have this book its #6 Seafoam Waves on page 16. i had no problem with row 1 but row 2 i just cant seem to get a grasp on.

something lacking in directions

As written, these directions do not make sense. For instance, a ch-4 to start a row is not uncommon, but immediately turning, with no direction to turn back and many more things simply don't add up. Is there a website with this pattern, or can you be more precise in writing it?

I can answer the "dc, ch-3, dc in the next ch-3 space" question. On the previous row you must have made a pattern that incorporates a stitch, a ch-3, and another stitch. The ch-3 forms a little hole underneath it. On the next row, when it calls for the above directions, insert your hook into the hole and work a dc, ch-3, and another dc all in that hole. You'll be working around the ch-3 of the previous row instead of into any particular stitch.
