New to this please help!

I am trying to do this cute pattern and I know it said its slightly hard but some of the lingo has got me stuck. For one row of the pattern it say ch1, sc1 in same, sc 1 [sc2 in 1, sc1] around, sl st to close round (9). I understand the first part but once the ] hit I get utterly lost. I've only been doing this for about a month so please help

The ] mean you repeat the stitches inside the ] (in this case 2 single crochets in one stitch alternating with 1 single crochet in the next stitch.)
The (9) indicates you finish with 9 stitches in the row = ch1 sc1, sc1,sc2, sc1, sc2, sc1. finishing with a slip stitch to close.
Hope that helps - keep at it and you'll soon be fluent in 'crochet'!
