Understanding where to do short rows

Okay, I understand how to do a wrap and turn, but I’m unclear on where! The pattern has me knit until 5 stitches are left and do wrap and turn. Then purl, then do 3 more of both of these rows. Am I turning at the same spot? Do I count the stitches I didn’t knit last time as the last 5 stitches? Help, please!

What is the name of your pattern and designer?
Short rows aren’t usually worked at the same place. It may be that the wording isn’t clear.
You can quote the exact row or rows if you’d like. That may help us. Don’t give us a large portion of the pattern please due to designer copyright.

Hello

Row 3 us to work to 5 stitches before the precious w&t, sophisticated is 10 stitches before the end of the entire row.
You might find it easier to place a removable stitch marker in the wrapped stitch when you work row 1, this will make it easier to spot. Row 3 then would be to work to 5 sts before the marker. Again place a marker in the w&t.
The repeated rows are also 5 stitches before the marker.
If later you are to resolve the wraps by working them, having markers in each wrapped stitch should help find them too.

Nice looking tee.

Just to be clear, Creations is saying
Row 3 is to work to 5 stitches before the previous w&t, which is 10 stitches before the end of the entire row.

I’m all in on using markers too.
