Hi, I have done rows 1 to 6. Row 7 says repeat row 2, but, that is a right side row, and the bobble stitch is worked on a wrong side row! Have I missed something or is there a row missing, thanks

Can I just clarify on row 2, is the bobble and the single crochet that follows classed as the bobble stitch so effectively there's 4 sc's that follow or is it just 3 sc's?
Part way through the row and thought I'd clarify before I go any further.

When it says for Row 1: make, dc in next stitch from hook, does that mean the last chain stitch- chain 132/144? Thank you
