Bind off stitches between the beginning / end of the row / round and markers, leaving the 2/3 of the stiches live on the needle.
Dont understand how far to bind off.
Did you put the markers in where they said to do so? If so, go from the marker to the end of the row or from the beginning of the row to the marker. Not having seen the pattern, I can only guess this is for the "armholes" or some other shaping. It sounds like you check your work by counting your stitches. You should have 2/3 of your stitches left after your binding off. (Example only: If you had 60 stitches, that would be 20. You’d bind off two lots of 10 stitches each, leaving 40 stitches on the needles. 40 is 2/3 of 60.)
IF YOU DID NOT put in the markers where they said to, count carefully and do your binding off mathematically. Divide by three, then divide one of the thirds in half. Bind off that many from each end.
