How to read the pattern

Question
Pattern reads "knit to two stitches before marker, wrapping yarn around needle twice for each st, SSK, wrapping yarn around needle twice, rep from *three more times ". Question..do I wrap yarn four times then ssk? Or do I slip one st, wrap twice, slip second st, wrap twice and knit two slipped sts together?

Answer

This is how I interpret it.
Start out with wrapping yarn twice before knitting each st until you get to the two sts before the marker. Then do normal ssk (without any wrapping on these two sts), then wrap twice again. Then, repeat from *.

Thank you for you question. Hope this helps.
