The parentheses are for different sizes. The first row you chain 19 stitches. Then you a single crochet in the second chain. You skip the first chain. Sc in every stitch. Thereafter. Thats the first row. Chain 1 and turn your work around. You single crochet in the front loop of every stitch in that row. Chain 1 and turn the work around again. Single crochet in the next 4 or 5 stitches, depending on what size you are making. You then skip the next 13 stitches. Chain 1 and turn the work around again.
I am a bit confused as to the last part. You need to decrease 1 stitch. I am not sure what a drs abbreviation is. Maybe someone can help on the last part.
The second part means you are going to decrease (DEC) one stitch by skipping one, and continuing on. Then it's 4 stitches and miss "skip" 13 and do 4 on the end. This might be for a floral pattern with such a long skip. That 4 then 13 then 4 gives you that 18 you began with. I tried finding DRS in abbreviations but I was not able to. Here is what I would suggest. Scan or make a very clear photo of that pattern giving us a shot of above and below and post it. That might help.
