Abbreviations

K - knit

P - purl

Yf sl 1 yo - bring working yarn to front under the needle, slip 1 st purlwise, bring working yarn over top of needle to the back. That produces a yarn over that crosses over the slipped st.

Brk 1 - knit the st that was slipped in the previous row together with its yarn over. Because the yarn over wasn't counted as a separate stitch on the previous row, no real decrease is made.
