HELP on a Lion Brand Diamond Shawl!!

[dehamoib]

Can someone please help? I'm an beginner+ and would like to make a shawl but when reading the pattern I came across a tricky row:

Row 2: (K 1, p 1) in first st, p across to last st (p 1, k 1) in last st -- 9 sts.

What exactly does this mean?
Do I knit 1, purl 1 in the same stitch - then purl to the last stitch and then what do i do with the remaining 9??
