Learning yarnwork - again!!

I'm trying to make a dog sweater because we moved to Sweden and my dog is
freezing!! I picked what it said was easy but it lied! I've done the
ribbing - I think it's moving from the neck to the back but I'm not sure.
I currently have the following on my needle - Knit 11, bind off 10, Knit
80, bind off 10, Knit 11. The bind offs are for the leg holes which I am
assured will all 4 be worked later in the pattern. What confuses me is
the next line in the pattern "Beg with a purl row,work 2 1/2" in stocking
st from bound off sts ending with RS facing for next row". Do I do just a
small section of do I somehow skip over the leg holes? It doesn't make
sense and because I am relearning after a 25 year break - I'm not very
confident with taking out stiches and picking up at an earlier point (not
as easy as in crochet - for me anyway). If anyone can help, I'd
appreciate it! I've got a cold puppy!!

Mary
