I bought a book Noro Revisited
http://www.theknittinggarden.com/noro-revisited.htm I love the HORDAL hat
and scarf pattern and bought the yarn, however the pattern is for a flat
knitted hat and I want to do it in the round. The pattern calls for 84
stitches CO and work garter stitch...I think that means I would have to knit
a round and purl the next? The next section of the hat is Knit 2 Purl 2
ribbing and I am not sure how to do the decreases....it says decrease 8
stitches evenly.

TIA for any help!

Yes, in circular knitting, garter stitch is knit one row, purl the next.

On the last round before the K2,P2 rib work as follows
Stitches on needle = 84

Stitches to decrease = 8

Group 1

_____ k2tog

_____ work 9 sts

_____ k2tog

_____ work 8 sts

Group 2

Group 4
