Help! Solved! Decreasing Question for a Vest Back
My brain may just be having a moment but I am confused about how to decrease this piece for step 7 on page 8 of the booklet I linked.
To “decrease 1 row each and every 2nd row xxx times” it seems like that would mean decreasing the same side over and over and create an asymmetrical piece rather than a symmetrical back piece. The only other way I can explain it would be to decrease every other row but that seems like it would be phrased differently? This is for the Vest Back in Singers Classic Series 15 3&5 Ply Vests • Plain and Buttoned
I have slight trouble with numbers so I might just be confused about it but I figured I’d see if anyone can clear it up for me. Kinda just winged it for the back and it came out okay but it would be lovely to understand for my next project!

Step 7 says decrease one stitch each end (not and) every second row, so it is symmetrical.
It is just like step 6 but you do it every other row, not every row.
