I agree with Nancy's interpretation of the instructions. What a great toy. Isabelle can take it in for show and tell when she gets into biology class years from now.

Then knit 7 rows, and decrease each end of the 8th row. Continue the 7 rows / 8th row pattern until you have 11 stitches remaining. yfwd means to bring the yarn forward between the needles. Then slip the stitch, and then bring the yarn back between the needles. The yarn becomes a design element in the front of the fabric. You are not creating a new stitch. You are correct for row two if you are converting to a circular pattern.
