That means the number of stitches in the row repeat pattern is a multiple of 3.
Multiple is the number you come up with when you multiply that number by any whole number. For example, if your number is 3, you can multiply 3 by 50. The answer of 150 would be your foundation chain for a project that uses a multiple of 3.
If your pattern multiple is 3 + 1. Then you work the multiple as above and add 1 to that number. In the above example, the resulting foundation chain would be 151.
50 is just a sample number. You can use any number. The designer gives the multiple generally so that you can adapt the size of the project. You might like to make a scarf, lapghan, or afghan out of the specific stitch combinations of your pattern. For a scarf you might use 3 x 7 and start with a foundation chain of 21. For a lapghan you might go with 3 x 30 and start with 90. Those are just examples and not firm numbers. The numbers you choose will depend on other factors besides the multiple.

what does stitch mean?
In crochet, a fan stitch is a group of stitches worked into one stitch. In most cases the stitches would be a combination of chains and stitches. For example, you might work double crochets separated by chain stitches or you might work 4 double crochets, a chain, and then another 4 double crochets. It doesn't have to be 4. It can be any number. The stitches should look similar to a paper fan or scallop. If the pattern calls for multiple rows of fan stitches, they are generally placed one on top of the other. Fan stitches can be small or large and incorporate any number of stitches, but the individual stitches are all worked into one stitch from the previous row.

What does shell of single crochet mean in a crochet pattern?
After a quick scan of the relatedlink (listed below), I am understanding that a shell of single crochet stitches means that a shell pattern can be made by knotting a single stitch, then skipping two stitches, then making 5 double crochets in the next stitch. Then you would skip the next two stitches and start another shell by one stitch, skip two, make 5 doubles, skip two stitches, and start another. And so on.

Turning chain. These are the stitches you make before you turn your work to begin another row. The number varies with each stitch.

For double crochet and all taller stitches, it does count as a stitch.

What does sl1 mean in knitting?
In knitting, sl1 means to slip one stitch. To do this simply slip the stitch from the left hand needle to the right without knitting it. Stitches can either be slipped purlwise or knitwise. If slipped purlwise, the stitch will not twist but if slipped knitwise it will twist. Therefore, if the pattern does not specify which way to slip the stitch, it is best to slip purlwise. See the related link for a diagram showing how to slip stitches.
