Bit of a knitting pattern problem

Not so much a problem but I am wondering about this pattern I am using
to knit a hat for myself.

To start it says..cast on 40 stitches, working with both yarns
together. Okay no problem there

Then it goes on....
Knit 2 rows....I did those

Then it says.....work in stockinette for 6 inches

My question is do I begin the stockinette with a knit stitch (adding a
third knit row to the previous knit rows) or do I begin with the purl
stitch?

The pattern does not say so I am assuming it is okay to begin with the
knit stitch.

Scratching my head ?????
i thnk yoiu should start as you want !!!

The pattern did come with a picture of the finished hat but the
pattern (and the picture) are no longer on the website I found it from
and I did not save a copy of the picture. I took the pattern from the
site last year sometime.

WELLLLL in THAT case just do it as you like it best !!!

I am!! I am!! :-)

Jaime,
I would begin it with a K row unless the directions specifically say
otherwise. That would give you a decent "band", is you follow me.

Yes I follow you. :-)

The directions simply say..........

Work in stockinette (knit 1 row, purl 1 row, repeat) for 6 inches

so I am assuming it is okay to begin with a knit row.
I'll try it this morning as soon as the kids leave for school and see
what happens.

Jaime look at the picture of the pattern. If it looks like Stocking stitch
make sure the knit is at the front

Oh dear. Well it sounds as though there is a bit of garter stitch (all
knit) at the edging and stocking stitch for the rest, in which case will
start with a knit row
