Dec for arm holes

Hello my name is Deborah I’m quite new to knitting, and I have only just joined this forum my pattern is asking me to to decrease one Stitch at each end of the next (I did that)and following 4th alternate rows I’m really not understanding what that means could someone please help me

Welcome to the forum and to knitting!
Does your pattern say “…following 4th alternate rows” or “…following 4 alternate rows”?
It’s more common to see the following 4 alternate rows.

If so and if you call the row with the decreases that you just did, row 1 then the next decreases are on rows 3,5,7 and 9. Remember to decrease at each end so there are 2 decreases per decrease row.

What is the name of your pattern?
