Alittle Knitting help Please?!

[mysysy]

Can someone help me read this pattern? I'm making a pixie hat and cannot figure out what this means. The part in the parenthesis, am I supposed to repeat it? If so, how many times?

The rest of the hat will be knit in groups of 3 rows. Every 2nd and 3rd row merely repeats the first in each group, knitting all knits and purling all purls as you see them.
Group 1: knit 6, (purl 2, knit2)* purl 2, knit 6.
Group 2: knit 8, (purl 2, knit2)* purl 2, knit 8.
Group 3: knit 10, (purl 2, knit2)* purl 2, knit 10.

Thanks for your help!!

Yes you repeat until you have how ever many stitches left that the pattern calls for. So group one is worked - knit 6, (purl 2, knit2)* purl 2, knit 6.
k6 (p2,k2) repeat until you have 8 stitches left and then you p2, k6
