Pattern/stitch help!

[theRugbyPlaty]

Okay,  sort of new to crocheting, I have a few Granny Square afghans under my belt, and wanted to move onto something a little more difficult. The instructions are as follows: 

ch 4 slip st into a ring (that part is no problem) 

row 1: ch 3, dc 2 in ring, ch 2 dc 3 in ring, turn- (this is the part I'm having trouble with) 6 dc; 1 ch-2 space. Fasten off. 

First, should I not make a turning chain? Just 6 dc? Also, what is the 1 ch-2 space? And does it really go at the end? I'm just all confused! 

Thanks for the help!

That "6 dc; 1 ch-2 space" is what you're supposed to end up with...

 

the chain 3 at the beginning counts as your first dc, then you work two dc stitches, so that makes 3; the you have a ch 2 space, then 3 more dc's in the ring.  I'm not sure why it says turn, when it really just wants you to fasten off...

 

Does that make more sense?

The part you are asking about is just a recap of what you made in this row, so you can count your stitches. The ch 2 space is the two chain sts you made.
