Hooded Vest Back Neckline

Being new to crochet I’m not sure if I’m doing this correctly.
I’m making a hooded vest and on the back piece for the neck it states to:

"Now there are only 2 rows left until finish.
Crochet 1 row with only 7 dc groups each side, on the next row crochet only over the 6 outer most dc groups (i.e do not crochet over the mid 3-4-5-5-6 dc groups = neckline)."

Here's the actual pattern:

I understand what they want me to do, I’m just not sure how.

Confused with pattern instructions for edging of a cuff

I am working on a shawl that also has cuffs. I am now at the edging of the cuff but am stuck. Following are the instructions:
"EDGING: Row 1: Ch1, do not turn; work 48 sc evenly spaced across end of rows; working in free loops of beginning ch, (sc, ch 1, sc) in ch at base of first sc, sc in each ch across to last ch, (sc, ch 1, sc) in last ch; work 48 sc evenly spaced across end of rows; do not join."

1. What is "ch at base of first sc"? I'm having trouble seeing it since I am now working across the ends of the rows.

Determining when to increase or decrease and how many and when

Trying to figure out the math behind determing when to increase or decrease in a bikini pattern. I am wanting to crochet a bikini and I want to do it in different sizes. Where do I begin? I am not understanding how you get a bikini bottom from a waist measurement and hip measurement. A bikini is not waist high, nor hip low. I would assume it would be considered "high hip." I just don't understand how/where to begin. Hope this makes some sort of sense to someone!! HELP
