Need Help reading pattern- yarn over confusion

Hi Everyone,

I am relatively new to knitting (started in December) and I am working on my first lacework top. This is the first time that I am working with a yarn over stitch pattern and I am finding myself very confused. I am currently working up the Magna Flora pattern from Alisa Hartzel.

Below is the section of the pattern that is giving me struggle:

Begin Lace Rep #1
4. Slip BOR *[ssk,- (k1, yo) times two, k1, k2tog, k1]

I looked up a tutorial for (k1, yo) which seems relatively straight forward, but I am lost on the “times two” aspect. My current understanding is that it would be a (k1, yo, k1, yo)?

Any advice or alternative language is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

You’re correct. You just do it twice :slight_smile:
