Pattern help - tunisian crochet

[Tunisian peacock]

Can anyone help me with this pattern? Why is the first bit in brackets? I've swapped from regular to Tunisian crochet and never seen a pattern written like this. 

ROW 1: (Ttss , Ttks) next st, Tks 2, PM, RI, PM, Tks

7 (9, 11, 13), PM, RI, PM, Tks 18 (20, 22, 24), RI,

Tks 7 (, 11, 13), PM, RI, PM, Tks 2, (Tks 1, Tss 1)

next st, Lts, RetP.

Well there are tons of horribly written crochet patterns out there so it certainly wouldnt be surprising to find them for Tunisian.

I hope the pattern defined the abbreviations for you as there are some I didnt find here

ROW 1: (Ttss , Ttks) next st. The (  ) in this case is telling you to put one Ttss and one Ttks in next stitch. 

 

 

Tks 7 (9, 11, 13), in this case the numbers in ( ) are the number of Tks to be done according to what size you are making.

Wow!  I am following the same pattern as the January 15th post.  The maker of the pattern, in fact, has sent a correction to those instructions as the PM, place marker, had been omitted in one area of ROW 1.  Is the pattern the December Cardigan?  If it is, I am struggling with the same pattern.  I have a lot of experience with crochet but never with Tunisian Crochet.  Can anyone tell me if there is a tutorial for the Ttss and Ttks in the same stitch?  It will define the raglan increase as follows:  (Tks 1,Tss 1) in stitch and (Ttss 1, Ttks 1) in next stitch.  Can anyone help?
