What is more easily understood? (Pattern writing)
I'm writing a pattern and would like your opinions on the way it is written for long repeats.
Choice A: *K3tog, k3, yo, k1, yo, [sk2p, yo]x42, k1, yo, k3, sk2p*
(97x3=291 sts)
Choice B: K3tog, k3, yo, k1, yo, *sk2p, yo; repeat from * around to last 7 sts of repeat, then k1, yo, k3, sk2p.
Thanks, your opinion really counts!

New knitter!! Pattern help please!!
Hi There,
I'm new to knitting, and am trying to understand this pattern. I think i've got it, but wanted to make sure, as this is an EXPENSIVE project! Can someone please help me understand this!!
K2, (k2,p2) to last 4 stitches, k4
K2, p2, (K2,p2)to last two stiches, k2
If the instructions are in parentheses, does this mean I repeat it until I get to the last 4 stiches? Also, is there a difference between capital and lowercase K vs k, or P vs p?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!!

Yes, you repeat the part between parentheses to the last 4 (or 2) sts, depending on the line.
There's no difference between uppercase and lowercase letters. Usually the uppercase letters are at the start of a row or sentence.
