I've come this far, I dont want to mess up!

Im working from a pattern that has quite a bit more in it than ive done before. I've made it decently far but I'm not sure what this means:

"Row 1: K1 (k1 yo k1 yo k1 yo k1) in next st to increase 6 sts, k1 yo ssk k15 yo ssk k2-30 sts."

I know all the stitches themselves but im not sure what the parentheses and in the next st is trying to tell me, or the k2-30 bit. Right now i have 24 stitches cast on, so i figure if i increase by six ill end up with 30 but im confused on how to do this and i really dont want to start over!

Thanks!

The (k1 yo k1 yo k1 yo k1) in next st is a way of increasing. All 7 steps are made into the one stitch on the left needle before that stitch is dropped off the needle. See if this
