Foreign Knitting Instructions

I have a pattern for a child’s anorak by SiSiVE AS from Norway called Snohetta. It has been translated to English but I am finding some of the instructions to be vague, in that there could be a number of ways to accomplish the task. The phrase that is baffling me at the moment is “adjust the number of stitches to.” The adjustments are both increases and decreases, that is obvious. However it doesn’t say where the adjustments are to be made. Do I bind off at beginning or is it evenly spaced, or is there some other spacing? Could someone explain the actual meaning of this phrase? Most appreciated.

Hello
I was browsing a few patterns today and saw this instruction.
I take it to mean to spread the increases or decreases evenly across the row or section stated. One example I saw was to decrease across the back of the neck and not the front for example.
As patterns are usually in several different sizes it seems they often don’t say exactly where to put the inc/dec but to let you spread them out evenly based on the stitch count you have and what you need to adjust to.
Here’s a calculator which will give you a line of pattern for evenly spaced inc/dec. If you have any “edge” or “boarder” stitches you might want to leave those out of the calculator and work them as usual.

Which part of the pattern is this? Are you changing stitch number at the transition between hem and body or someplace else?
Maybe this jacket?
