Why am I getting extra knits on my needles? How to fix them?

Okay, so I'm trying to make a hat right by knitting.The hat design is.Rib stitch 1 inchThen knit 1 rowpurl the nextrepeat for 6 inches.next knit 3 stitches, then knit 3 TOGETHER.next row purlrepeat last 2 steps until there's 7 stitches left.Then sew it together or something.Well, before I got to the knitting 3 stitches part, I noticed my needles had roughly 30+ extra stitches or more.The pattern asks you to start with 87 on your needlesAnd I didSomehow I ended up with well over 100.Now my hat is HUGE.As I'm knitting, how do I prevent this? And if it happens, how do I reduce 1 or 2 stitches as I go along? Just knit them together?PSI'm sort of teaching myself to knit online through youtubeAside from extra stitches my patterns look pretty friggin' sweetCan't wait till I get it down right.PSSI have no one I know in person to show me what I'm doing wrongEveryone else I know who even messes with yarn crochetsAny help will do wonders!Thanks!Chris.
