In crochet, because stitches have "height" (where in knitting stitch height isn't much of an issue), crocheters add chain stitches to the end of a row to add height, in order to begin the next row.
So, in your instructions, chain 4, then make a single turning chain, would mean to add another chain, turn your work so that you could then begin crocheting the second row. You would then insert your hook into the second chain from the hook and crochet the next stitch (which is going to be a single crochet--sc--due to only using one turning chain)
There is a standard turning chain number, depending on the stitch you are going to use in the next row. [the link shows how many turning chains for each crochet stitch].
For a:
slip stitch = 0 turning chain
single crochet = 1 turning chain
half double crochet = 2 turning chains
double crochet = 3 turning chains
triple crochet = 4 turning chains
and so on.
You see that as the stitch height grows, so do the number of chain stitches in your turning chain.

What does sc in next ch-1 sp ch 1 mean in crochet pattern?
It means "single crochet". The stitch is the shortest of the crochet stitches and makes a very compact garment. Other notations can be double crochet, half double crochet, and even double triple crochet.Always read the whole pattern thoroughly before you begin your work.To sc in sc means to place your next single crochet stitch into the next single crochet stitch from the previous row. If your next stitch is a chain, for example, you would skip it and go to the next single crochet. Be aware that sometimes there will be a typographical error in a pattern, so be alert to how the stitch works in the pattern you are using.
What does it mean in a crochet pattern if you are doing 3 chains at the start of every row then it tells you to do a single chain for the next so many rows?
I would do exactly as it says unless you can see a reason not to. If the project is not coming out as it should, then I would contact the designer and see if it was a typo. It is possible those next rows are single crochet which only needs one chain for turning or there is a reason she wants the other rows to have a shorter turning chain.

What does sp mean in crochet instructions?
Sp in crochet patterns means "space" as far as I know. Generally, a space in crochet is created by the chain stitch(es) on the previous row/round. If your pattern states to sc, (single crochet) in the next sp (space) it means to pull the yarn around the stitch (the chain stitches) rather than through the chain stitch as you'd do when working into your beginning chain.
What does it mean when a crochet pattern says to sc in next ch to next ch-1sp?
When a crochet pattern instructs you to "sc in next ch to next ch-1 sp," it means you should single crochet (sc) into the chain (ch) that immediately follows the current position, and then move to the next chain-1 space (ch-1 sp) in the pattern. This indicates that you'll be placing the single crochet in a specific location while also indicating that you should be aware of the next designated space for additional stitches or pattern elements. Essentially, it's guiding you on where to place your stitch in relation to the structure of the project.
How do you make a picot stitch in dc?
A picot is a little 'bump' on a chain. It's usually made with a single crochet, but you could do it with a double crochet as well. You do it in a chain. Here is an example of one:chain 3, dc in 2nd ch from hook, ch 1. The individual pattern will specify the number of chains to work on either side.
When a crochet pattern says turn in the middle of the pattern what does that mean?
Hmm. I have never seen this before but I am assuming its pretty much the same as turning work in the middle of your knitting. Say you have thirty stitches on your crochet project. You double crochet 15 and then the pattern says to turn in the middle... You would hypothetically chain 1 or two and turn the work as if you were starting a new row. I hope I was right on this, I am just inferring.
