Help reading pattern

Hi there!

I’m having a hard time understanding the ending to the pattern I’m working on, could anyone explain how I’m supposed to do the decreases as described? I’ve been knitting for a few years but am just really struggling to figure out what is meant here!

Work the back even for about 40R in stockinette stitch
Then decrease on both sides,
2 times every 6R
4 times every 4R
6 times every 2R
Bind off remaining stitches.

It doesn’t specify how many stitches you’re supposed to end with, but I’m starting with 75 and it should be coming to a rounded edge - it’s the end of a dog coat.

Any help would be appreciated!

Welcome to KnittingHelp!
After the 40rows in stockinette, call the next row, row 1. Decrease at each side on row 1 and 7, then on rows 11,15,19 and 23, and finally on rows 25,27,29,31,33,and 35.
That’s 24 sts decreased total.
