Would I just reverse the Knits and Purls on the even (WS) rows? I just tried knitting it flat following the directions for in the round, but it just came out looking like a big mess. Don't want to do anything else until I get some advice.

Also, it says to M1 Knitwise. Is that any different from picking up the strand below and K into the back loop?

Thanks for any help.

BTW, the pattern is for a skirt flounce.
