Need help reading a pattern

[Molly.louise06]

Hey all, I am working on my first ever written pattern. I've been doing crochet for about a month now. In my pattern it says: dc9, (dc2tog) 3 times, dc 9 (22)

I understand how to double crochet and how to do a decrease stitch I just don't understand weather I do 9 dc then do 3 dc2tog then dc 9 again???

Thanks

Do. I do 9 dc then do 3 dc2tog then dc 9 again?  Yes.   

(22) is the stitch count for that row or round.  The above will give you 21 stitches so counting the ch 3 that would have started this row/ round you would have 22 stitches.
