The pattern goes:

K1P1-twice, Inc 1 st on next st. Knit to last 6 sts, Inc 1 st in next st, K1P1, twice

this is how I read these instructions:

k1, p1, k1, p1, (assuming right side facing, and the next stitch is to be knitted as it faces you) make one in the next knit stitch. knit until the last 6 stitches, make one in the next stitch (knitwise) k1 p1 k1 p1, (you end up with with an extra stitch at the end of the row)

is there more to the pattern?

to make one knitwise, start to knit the stitch, do not slip the stitch off to the right hand needle, but knit into the back of the stitch on the left needle. then, slip both stitches off the left needle onto the right needle, and continue knitting...

although the k1p1 twice is only 4 stitches total, you are left with a stitch at the end of the row. that could be an error in the pattern?

what is the whole pattern? what are you knitting?

that will really determine who to read this one row from a pattern.

Sissy13, Is your question about P1--M1P I think that is p1, make 1 purlwise - that would be an increase.
