Totally stumped

I have gotten so far and not an inch further with my knitting. I am trying a simple (lol!) top down hoodie for Orin (smartly I chose size 4!). I got the first bit done, the hood. But to expand the neck, I need to add stitches. But the next step in the directions is SO complicated!!! It's knit 2 pm k5 pm k33 pm etc. So ... I have to now go and actually count the # of stitches they want me to make, and figure out how many MORE I need to do, and then bring that to Lynn and figure out with her how to get the extra stitches onto the needle in the right places, so that the markers (for shoulder, v neck etc.) are all in the right place. Simple, huh?
