Help on my first pattern?

Alright, this is the first actual pattern I’ve ever done, and I need a little help.
What does “P1 (k1 p1)” mean?
I’ve tried Google, but all I can get is patterns.
Thank you.

Your first stitch is a purl, then you K1, then P1, then K1…all the way across. :slight_smile: :knitting:

That would be p1, then repeat the k1, p1 only. Maybe. It depends what’s after the (k1 p1).
