Explain, please?!?!

I’m making a blanket and the pattern is (K1, P1)twice! Does that mean I do it once for what’s in the (), then twice more, or twice, including what’s in the ()??? Any and all help would be appreciated!

The instructions mean to do the k1p1 two times. It’s simpler to write it that way than k1,p1,k1, p1.
