If you have a link to the pattern can you share it? Or at least a name of the pattern? It helps if we can see it.

It sounds like you're turning before the end of the row.

Are you using straight needles or double pointed?
I was going to ask a question for everybody. I got a pattern that said to "turn" it while using 2 regular needles, not double pointed.

It doesn't matter how many needles you use, when a pattern says to turn and you haven't gone all the way across the sts yet, it's short rows. You would turn just as if you were at the end of the row and knit back.
