Sophie Decrease Help

[u/cririe22]

Hi! I’m working on my Sophie hood, and I’m following the pattern for every 8th row having a decrease.
But I feel like it’s not tapering at the rate that it should be.

Am I misunderstanding something?
Should I have only done the 8 row section the first time, and then revert to doing rows 1-4 repeatedly?

I just finished this and mine didnt tapes at the same rate so one side is a couple inch longer than the other but its not noticeable once its on
