help with sweater

[Cherinec5]

Im making this sweater for my daughter and have finished the front and back. I want to make the sleeves on DPNs but i had a question.

heres the link: http://www.straw.com/cpy/patterns/bu...by-ruffle.html

I know that when working in the round when you only knit it is like working in stockinette. now with this pattern. the first 2 rows are knit so i would knit 1 row then purl the next. then basically do i switch the k's with ps throughout?
Row 3 (RS): P3, *k11, p3; rep from * to end.
Row 4: K3, *p11, k3; rep from * to end.
Row 5: P3, *SKP, k2, yo, SK2P, yo, k2, k2tog, p3; rep from * to end.
Row 6: K3, *p9, k3; rep from * to end.
Row 7: P3, *SKP, k1, yo, SK2P, yo, k1, k2tog, p3; rep from * to end.
Row 8: K3, *p7, k3; rep from * to end.
Row 9: P3, *SKP, yo, SK2P, yo, k2tog, p3; rep from * to end.
Row 10: K3, *p5, k3; rep from * to end.
Row 11: P3, *SKP, k1, k2tog, p3; rep from* to end.
Row 12: K3, *p3, k3; rep from * to end.
Row 13: P3, *SK2P, p3; rep from * to end.
Row 14: K3, *p1, k3; rep from * to end.
Change to MC
Row 15: P3, *k1, p3; rep from * to end.
Row 16: K3, *p1, k3; rep from * to end.

like row 3 would be k 11, p3
what about the skp and sk2p. i'd skip i purl one and so on?

i just want to be sure if i can do this before i actually start.
thanks!
