help understanding instructions

I am making a hat and have been going along w/ no probs. Now I am going to form the crown and I have a question.

row 1 RS *K6, K2tog; rep from* to end, k4 (4, 2, 6)

Ok I get everything but the k4 (4,2,6) I am making a large 23" so I assume I use the 2, so does that mean I substitute the 2 for the K6?

Thanks in advance

Yes, you'll finish up with the number of stitches for your size.
