Jeannee Worsted Knit Chemo Cap Pattern

[newknitter72012]

Working on Easy Ribbed Chemo Cap. Knitted most of cap in *(P1,k4); repeat from * around. Need to start dec rds & 1st rd = *(Pattern 8, k2tog); repeat from * around. WHAT IS MEANT BY PATTERN ??? P1,K4 ??? AND the "8" = 8 times before k2tog??? Next rd = Work in pattern ??? Does it mean to go back to P1,k4?

Making these for local charity & need your help, PLEASE!

TIA!!!

Work 8 stitches in pattern in this case is to knit the knits and purl the purls. So on the first round you'll

p1, k4, p1, k2, k2tog all the way around. This will leave you with
p1, k3, all the way around for the next round.
