Forming Pleats

Hey guys, I really hope that someone can help me with this forming pleats issue that i'm having. I'm knitting a bolero and the sleaves are bell, but are then decorated with a beautiful braided cable pattern. Therefore it is required that i decrease at the same time while pleating. The pattern reads as follows:

Decrease Row once more. 96(100,108,112,116,120,124)sts.

Ok so at this point i have 120 sts. Then the pattern reads.

Form Pleats: Next row (RS): K3(2,3,2,1,3,2),(from pleat)to last 3(2,3,2,1,3,2)sts, k to end. 51(52,57,58,59,63,64)sts.

Ok so i start with 120 sts and at the end of this row i must have 63sts (WTF)

HHHHEEEELLLLPPPP!!! Please help!!!

Are there any special instructions at the beginning of the pattern for making the pleats? DA
