I am getting ready to try this Circular wrapping shawl pattern for babies. But, I am having difficult understanding this part of it. If someone want the whole pattern after not understanding this part, please, email me off list and I will post it to you for further help. Continue to work 2 sts less every 2nd row until there are 5 sts. worked in
I would take it to mean that on every other row you decrease two stitches.

There are directions somewhere in the part of the pattern that you didn't post telling you where the decreases belong
Using the decrease method described in the pattern, decrease 2 sts every other row which means knit one row with out any decreases and the next row with 2 stitches less according to the pattern instructions for placing the decreases. When you have 5 stitches left you are done. However, there seems to be an error in the instructions. If you are working from the outside of a circle to the center, then the 5 stitches is correct. If you start at the center then you would have many more stitches than 5 for the last round. If the pattern is knitted in pie shaped pieces then the instructions are correct in using the term rows instead of rounds.
