Need help interpretting pattern

[elana]

am a fairly new knitter and trying to knit the "Ralph: Teddy Bear from Sandra Polley's The Knitted TEddy Bear

first it says work in ST st throughout unless otherwise stated.
CO 9 st
first question...that's knit one row, purl one row?
second question : How do you increase while purling..particularly at beginning of a row. I knit continental style.

Third question ..here's where I'm really confused. The instructions say
Starting with a K row, Inc 1st at each end of every row until 19sts
ROW6-P
Row 7 (Inc 1 K2) to last st, Inc 1 (26sts) HOW DOES THIS MATH WORK?

Thanks so much!

1) Yep, that is knit one row, purl another
2) HERE is a link to the videos. M1L, M1R, and the Bar increase all have video with purl (at the bottom of the description)
