What does this pattern mean?

Hi! I am trying to make this knitted heart but I just can’t get the pattern right.

On step nine, it says "knit"
does that simply mean that I knit one row?

and what does “repeat from *” mean?

Thanks so much!! I really appreciated your help!!

Yes. Row 9 is a knit row. Just knit all the way across.

and what does “repeat from *” mean?

from the pattern: R 10 *SSK, knit 2, knit 2 together. Repeat from *.

You work through the steps, then repeat SSK, knit 2, knit 2 together as many times as it takes to finish the row.
