Hi there!
I'm new, and new to knitting. Can you help me read part of a pattern? What do the [] brackets mean? Here's the context: Dec row K1, [k2tog, yf, skpo] 22 times. 67 sts. Cont straight until back measures....etc
Thanks!!!

It's directing you to repeat the bit between the brackets 22 times, so you'll k2tog, yf, skpo 22 times.

Thanks! And another question....
So, I knit 2 together, then put the yarn forward, slip one stitch to the right needle. Is the yarn forward for the next knit?
And, then just repeat what's inside the brackets 22 times, right?

Thank you, thank you, thank you....[/img][/i]
