Help on Shape Armholes for Jumper

Hello all,

I hope someone can help me with the following - just for content, these are ‘shape armholes’ instructions for a gorgeous jumper I am knitting for my better half. Here is the nasty passage:

(1) Decrease 1 st at each end of next 7 rows [UNDERSTOOD]

(2) then on following 4 alternate rows [CONFUSION]

(3) then on following 4th row [CONFUSION]

Could someone explain to me what on earth 2 and 3 mean? How many rows do I have to work before I can decrease???

Many thanks and love from London

What is the name of your pattern and designer?
Decrease at each end of rows 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 as you already have. Then decrease on rows 9,11,13, and 15 (the 4 alternate rows) and finally on row 19 (the 4th row following the last decrease).
