You always make one to knit unless it says specifically to do it as a purl but make sure to make one the English way . After you pick up the bar between the two stitches knit it thru the back so you will not get a hole . If it is too easy you are doing it wrong

How do you form the crown decrease rows when knitting a hat in rib k1p1 stitch?
When you reach a purl stitch approximately where you want to make your decrease, knit it together with the following knit stitch. This will make two knit stitches in a row, followed by a single purl. Place a marker and move to the next place to decrease and repeat. If you consistently knit together the last two stitches before your markers, you will form an attractive pattern in the ribs as you decrease.
How do you stop the edges of your knitting from rolling in?
You can either add a few rows of garter stitch (which is knit every row) or you can do a few rows of ribbing (which is knit 1, purl 1). One of my favorite boarders to put on sweaters or scarves is the seed stitch (knit 1, purl 1 to the end of the row and turn your work, then you purl the knit stitches and knit the purls and you just keep repeating that every time you turn your work)
