#pattern writing

Here is a section of raglan decreases as written in this (UK English) book I'm trying to follow:

Working all raglan decreases as set by last row, dec 1 st at each end of 6th (4th: 2nd) and 2 (0: 2) foll 6th (0: alt) rows, then on 9 (13: 12) foll 4th rows.

*phew* ok wtf does that actually mean in physical terms of how many rows I should knit before the RS decreases??

Now here is what I had to write down in order to figure that out based on the size I'm making (large, the third listed number in parenthesis):

Work two rows, decrease on the next RS row

[Decrease on every RS row] five times

[Work 3 rows, decrease on the next RS row] twelve times

(let's see if this video gets through)

it's been hard af but i'm INCREDIBLY pleased with how she's turning out so far 🥹 literally only her head is done and i still feel so proud of myself 😂

I have finished my first doll. I am just about done writing up the pattern. I plan on having this up on Etsy (once I open my store) and also on ravelry.
