Row 12: Ch 1, turn; sc in first dc, (ch 3, sk next dc, sc in next dc) across to last 2 dc, ch 1, sk next dc, hdc in last dc to form last ch-3 sp: 11 ch-3 spas. I don't understand what this means: to form last ch-3 sp: 11 ch-3 spas. I did the hdc in last dc.

"11 ch-3 spas" means that when you look back at your row and count the number of chain 3 spaces, you should have 11 of those. It is not another stitch instruction, it is the summary of what you should have done.
