Picking up stitches for a hat brim

[outdoordrea]

I’m confused about how to orient my just finished hat in order to pick up stitches for the brim so that the brim ends up with the knit stitch on the top and the purl stitch underneath. I’ve done the brim twice, but both times, I end up with the purls on top and the knits on the bottom. I’m knitting the Cabled News Boy cap from S&B Nation.

Thanks!

Apparently, third time’s a charm. I started picking up the stitches with the right side of the hat facing me, and now I’m back on track.
