Not sure if this will help but I checked out HomeMadeAwards on Ravelry . Designer's name is Loly Fuertes and she is Spanish. Maybe her English explanation is not clear? I wonder if a Spanish member could clear up what she is trying to tell you?
Also have some questions:
1. Did you type out instructions or is it a copy and paste?
I am asking because it says Row 1, but you have (Purl) in brackets. Is this how the pattern is written?
2. Does she use the / in the instructions? You must have done the rest of the pattern so was wonder if it is an abbrevation of some type?
3. Have you tried yarn over needle, slip stitch purl wise?
ENGLISH st = Row 1.- *Knit the first st. K/ With yarn in front and over right needle, slip stitch the (Purl) second st.*/Rep. from *to* till finish row, and knit always the last sts., of each row as they appear./Rep. always from *to*. Row 2 and all the rest of Rows.- Repeat Row 1.
i think i figured it out!
just to remember: always knit 1st and last stitch in every row (RS+WS)!
1) RS - (Knit 1, slip 2nd stich perlwise from left to right needle) rep to last stich, k1, turn
2) WS - k1, (knit "doubled" stitch (at once), slip single stitches perlwise) rep to last stitch, k1, turn
