Hi everyone,
My question is :
I am knitting a dog sweater and the pattern says easy but for some reason I am a little confused (although it doesn’t take much sometimes… ) The back of sweater part starts with seed stitch. So I believe it is k1 p1 until end and then start with opposit stitch on other needle? After I cast on my stitches, should I knit 1 full row then next row start seed stitch?
Please keep in mind I am a beginner 
thanks.

Starting with seed stitch
Hi!
it is no problem to do seed stitch form the first row. Just do it.
you CAN knit or purl one entire row. Some knitters like that for a fancier showing of the cast on edge.
But if the pattern says seed stitch form the beginning: just k1 p1 till the end, then do the next row making a knit where a purl appears and the other way around (as normal in seed stitch).
You may be a beginner but you got it just right: that is what the pattern wants at the same time there would be options. I vote for the starting without a base row.
You would just start the seed st on the first row after the Cast on.
