crocheting help needed, please?

I am crocheting a baby sweater, after having not crocheted for abut 20 years. I am currently starting on a yoke to join the body with the arms and the directions say: "join A on starting chain in base of first half shell, work 2 sc in half shell, 1sc in base of next sc [3sc in base of next shell, 1 sc in next sc]. "

I got the yarn joined, do they mean 2 SC in each dc of the half shell? then the 3sc in base of next shell, what does that mean - won't it make a ridge? The picture is not a close up and I can't find anyting in my books or on the web that explains the procedure. The book I am using is a Columbia-Minerva daffy down dilly pattern number 778-3 from many years ago and if anyone can help me out here with a clear explanation, I would be thrilled!

How was the shell made? If you could tell us what the pattern repeat for that part was, it would help. I'm guessing that there was a shell made of 3 dc in one ch, then skip 2 ch (or maybe ch 2), and then maybe a sc? In that case, I think they just want you to end up with the same number of stitches, but they don't want you to make stitches into the (skipped) chains.
