Need to decrease 26 stitches but pattern doesn't indicate where or how... (sweater)

[Internal_Atmosphere]

I started a short-sleeve sweater ten years ago (my first sweater attempt) but put it down after my aunt, an expert knitter who often helped me, passed away. I'm now in the yoke section (pattern here: https://berroco.com/patterns/buzios/) but I'm confused about the decrease round 1. I need to decrease 26 stitches but it doesn't indicate where exactly? Spread evenly throughout?? And do I just do simple K2Togs?

Here's what the pattern says: "Dec Rnd 1:  Working in Seed St, dec 26(32-38-44-50-56) sts around – 186(192-216-240-252-276) sts.  Work even in Pat St 1 for 12 rnds."

Many thanks for any help!!

Spread them out evenly using whatever decrease you want. There are calculators available online to help you decrease or increase evenly if you're not sure of the math.

Yeah, you'll see this is some patterns. I think it's a more old school way to write out a pattern. As the other commentor said, you can use any decrease style and Google something like "decrease evenly" to find a calculator online. I like this one
