The polo neck - how to read a pattern?

Dear authors, I wonder if you could help me to understand this: as far as I understand, I must knit first 5 times one sleeve, then 8 times a half of a bodice, than another one sleeve 5 times and than a bodice 8 tines again. I do not understand how should it work. what do I understand wrong? Thank you so much!


For the 40 inch.
With the right side of the work facing and using one needle from the set of four, rejoin the wool to the 2 sts. left on a thread for one sleeve top and (k.2, p.2) 5 times, k.2, working across the 32 sts. left on a thread (p.2, k.2) 8times, using the second needle and working across the 22 sts. left on a thread
for the second sleeve (p.2, k.2) 5 times, p.2, using the third needle and working across
the remaining 23 sts. left on a thread (k.2, p.2) 8 times. (108 sts.)
Divide these sts. on to three needles as follows:
30 33 36 on the first needle, 30 33 36 on the second needle, 32 34 36 on the third needle.
