Yes, repeat the entire row from the beginning
R2:knit 4x (k2,p1), place RT marker, RT,p1, k2, p1
That’ll be 7 repeats of 18sts each and use up 126sts

Start with: :knit 4x (k2,p1), place RT marker, RT,p1, k2, p1
and repeat the entire sequence of instructions for row 2 around the hat.

I’m assuming the RT takes 2 stitches.

Yes, it does take up 2 stitches. I think I understand know. What is the purpose to place a marker for the RT?

It’s a reminder that the following 2 knit sts are twisted.
