Hello
Are you making the smallest size?

I find it easiest to start counting the rows again at each different section

Rows 1 2 3 4 5 6, dec at neck edge (32 - 6 = 26 sts)

Next row, work
1st alt row, dec at neck edge
Next row, work
2nd alt row, dec at neck
Next row, work
3rd alt row, dec at neck
(26-3=23)

Here I would start again at Row 1, so:
1
2
3
4 this is the 1st fourth row, dec at neck
5
6
7
8 this is the 2nd fourth row, dec at neck
(23-2=21 sts)

Any rows without decreases you just work your pattern as set earlier in the instructions.
All the decrease rows you work your pattern as set but with the decrease at the neck edge.

Does this make sense?
Are you ok doing the decreases?
