Pattern help - Knitting a lace shawl

[freefika]

Hi guys I'm new o knitting hawks. My pattern reads the following. Could u guide me in simple words wat this actually means?

"Cast on 3 stitches with scrap yarn using a provisional cast on. Work 6 rows of garter stitch in your working yarn, pick up and knit
3 stitches in the garter ridges and your first 3 stitches removing the scrap yarn. You now have 9 stitches."

That makes a little 3 st strip of garter, pick up sts down the ends of the row on one side and then into the cast on sts. I don't like to do them this way, it's just muc
