Your pattern is a 2 stitch Right Twist mock cable separated by p2. The Right Twist (T1R) can be worked in a couple ways. The short-cut method is to skip over the first stitch on the left-hand needle to knit the second stitch on the left-hand needle (retaining that stitch on the left needle). Then knit the first stitch on the left hand needle. Slip both stitches off the left-hand needle. The T1R stitch can also be worked with a cable needle. Slip 1 stitch to a cable needle and hold in back. Knit the next stitch, then knit the stitch from the cable needle. If you have trouble working the short-cut method, working this stitch with the cable needle will show you the mechanics of the twist stitch. Then as you understand it you may switch to the short-cut. The pattern you describe
Row 1: k2, p2
Row 2: k2, p2
Row 3 T1R, p2
Row 4: k2, p2
