We Call Them Pirates Knit Along January 18, 2007

Last night I started the “We call them Pirates” knit along and I am knitting the hat. I don’t know why but I was a little confused on reading the pattern chart. Do I read right to left and then going back do I read it left to right? Or do I just always read right to left? Also, it only shows 32 stitch’s across and I casted on 128. Do I not have the right pattern? I have done color working before but I am not sure how to read this chart. I feel really dumb. I know that reading color charts should be the same.
