how to read knitting pattern?
how do you read this??

does that mean that for round 1, i have to knit one row, then purl one row, THEN do it all over again, or am i only supposed to knit one row and purl one row and thats it for round 1?
this question might not make any sense, but i really want to make this beret and i need help!!!
thank you!! 
and here is the pattern:
