I just made this and it does not work out at all. You are casting on an even number of stitches and decreasing an even number of stitches, before you do the last decrease you are at 5 stitches, so you can't complete the last decrease evenly, there is 1 stitch left over that is not reduced. I did wind up with 3 stitches after last decrease, but it looks odd because it's a no decrease in with the decrease row. If anyone can see what I'm missing, please let me know, thanks.
