not sure where this belongs...question for y'all

[KatyKoolkat]

Hey All:

Just a question....on my pattern for my poor hat (I finished one that definitely ISN"T going anywhere!! I had to rip it out and somehow ended up with and extra stitch and now just looks really wonky!! but I digress..) it says for rows 6-? 5 to garter stitch for 4 inches (after doing 5 rows of k2 p2 ribbing). Does that mean I measure from the ribbing or the beginning of the hat?

Thanks
katy
