I don't know about adding 30 stitches, but "in next st work [P1,K1] 3 times" is the same as saying, "in next st work [P1,K1,P1,K1,P1,K1]. In other words, all 6 new stitches are worked in a single existing stitch. But this is only going to give you an increase of 5 stitches (going from 1 to 6), not 30. Good luck!

It means you work the instructions in the brackets 3 times in the same stitch. Here is how. With the yarn at the front purl the first stitch but do not slip the stitch off the LH needle. Take the yarn under the RH needle and knit into the same stitch but again do not slip the stitch off the needle. Bring the yarn under the RH needle to the front. You have now worked p1,k1 into the same stitch. Repeat into the same stitch 2 more times. After the last k1 slip the stitch off the LH needle. You now have 6 stitches made out of 1 stitch.i.e. an extra 5 stitches. To get an extra 30 stitches I presume this instruction occurs 6 times in the row.
