Default 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?

I'm so pleased to see Mirjam jump in! She is amazingly skilled, and
generous with her expertise, and when she gets this figured out for
you it will be in great shape.
