Hi guys!
I'm about to start this project:
http://www.straw.com/cpy/patterns2/cot_chen_aran-hatmitts.html.
It calls for doing it flat and sewing up a seam for the hat. I much
prefer to work in the round. Is there anything I need to know to
modify the pattern in order to do this? Thanks guys!

You'll need to rewrite the WS rows if you're going to do the Fair Isle
because you'll be coming at them from the other direction.

so---- Row 1 is left to right and Row 2 is right to left? Ugh. That
might mess me up if I'm not paying strict attention. Ick.

No, row 1 is R to L and row 2 is L to R.... when knitting in the flat.
To knit in the round you do R 1 (3, 5, etc) as they're written, R to L,
but the even rows have to be reversed, which you might also be able to
read R to L. I don't do much with charts, so someone else will have to
confirm that.

Yeah, it could get off just a bit....
