Stuck and Confused with This Row

How-to Questions
1

Thanks everyone for answering all my questions this week, you’ve been great help.

Okay now here is the row I am confused on. Was doing great till this row.

R19: k3, * (yo, k1) times 3, # yo, ssk, k3, k2tog, (yo, k1) times three#, yo* k1
Repeat * to * repeating # TO # TWICE ending k3 (69 sts)

So does that mean:
R19: k3, * (yo, k1) times 3, # yo, ssk, k3, k2tog, (yo, k1) times three#,# yo, ssk, k3, k2tog, (yo, k1) times three#, yo* k1 and knit the last three stitches? :think:

Thanks everyone for your help.

There’s one repeat missing I think:
R19: k3, [U][U]* (yo, k1) times 3, # yo, ssk, k3, k2tog, (yo, k1) times three#,# yo, ssk, k3, k2tog, (yo, k1) times three#, yo* k1[/U] [/U](yo, k1) times 3, # yo, ssk, k3, k2tog, (yo, k1) times three#,# yo, ssk, k3, k2tog, (yo, k1) times three#, yo* and knit the last three stitches. That adds up to 69 stitches and agrees with the pattern symbols.

Okay I am still confused, can you dumb it down further for me. thanks.

Do # yo, ssk, k3, k2tog, (yo, k1) times three#, 2 times in the middle, then repeat the whole thing between the *s (with everything between the #s done 3 times) again.

It’ll help if you leave out the # and *…

R19: k3, (yo k yo k yo k yo ssk, k3, k2tog yo k yo k yo k yo, ssk, k3, k2tog, yo, k yo k yo k yo) then do everything between the () again and end with k1 and k3.

I think that should do it.

Suzeeq has a good way of describing it. Maybe it also helps to think of it as:
k3 * #-#, #-# * k1 * #-#, #-# * k3

Oooh, good idea! And I put the single K1 at the end, when it should be in the middle… somewhere. It’s a complicated way of writing out the pattern, I think [] should have been used instead of *s and the *s instead of #.

Absolutely the most confusing notation I’ve ever seen. Brackets are a much better idea.
