I haven't been knitting for quite awhile and am drawing a blank on following the directions for an afghan I'm knitting.
The pattern row reads like this: Row 1 (RS) K 1, *yo, k 6, (slip 2 tog as if to knit, k 1, p2sso), k 6, yo, k 1; rep from * across.
My question is do I include the final k 6, yo, k 1 in each repeat or just the stitches from the * to the end of the ).
I hope someone can understand this and help me out before I go any further.
Thanks in advance.

Pat Until now , every pattern that had *xxxxxx* it meant that you repeat it from first * to the second * What i don`t understnad ,, are all your rows like that , it looks a bit lacy , but it would help if you wrote which row [1st , 2nd etc???] and may be write the one before and/or after it ??? mirjam
You would repeat all the sts after the *. What's in the () is just a long explanation of a double decrease which offsets the 2 YOs in the repeat so you end with the same number of sts you start with.

Thanks Sue.
The next row is a purl row so it won't be too lacy.
The confusion was if I should repeat everything from the * or just that in ( ) and you've answered my question. Now I can proceed without having to rip it out!
