Pattern help

Good morning all!
I am looking at a pattern called “Diamond Panels” and in the instructions it has ---- row 5 k2, *(p1, k1) twice, p1,k2 ---- can you help? I don’t understand what it means in the () does it mean to p1, k1 in the same space or just p1,k1 two times and then p1, k2??
thanks for your help! :XX:

p1 k1 two times :thumbsup:

Thank you!!! have a great day Lee
