Thank you so much. This is definitely a learning experience and you made it so clear. I understand now how to make the selvage/seam and pattern row to keep the correct number of stitches.

I'm not sure exactly what you question was. I'll explain how to knit the 2-color seed stitch with the given instructions, let's break it down step-by-step.
Explanation:
Multiple of 2: The main pattern repeats over 2 stitches.
+1: This is an extra stitch to make the pattern symmetrical.
+2 selvage stitches: One stitch on each side for a neat edge.
Total Stitches:
Using the formula:
(Multiple of 2) + 1 + 2 selvage stitches = 119 stitches
So, the pattern repeat must be:
(58 × 2) + 1 + 2 = 119 stitches
How to Knit the 2-Color Seed Stitch:
Assuming Color A and Color B are your two colors:
Cast on 119 stitches.
Row 1 (Color A):
Slip 1 (selvage), K1, P1 across, end with K2 (selvage).
Row 2 (Color B):
Slip 1, P1, K1 across, end with P2.
Repeat Rows 1 and 2, alternating colors.
