Row 3 & 4. Rep row 2

Row 5. Ch 3,insert hook in2ch-6lps on same edge, complete a sc, ch 3 turn, dc in each of next 4 dc, turn(Center inner bottom of heart).

Oooh, a Bruges lace pattern that isn't charted, um, this will be fun.  I've only made 1 this way and it was written up in something like 600+ rows because it's made in narrow 'ribbons', each row is only a few stitches long.  The 4 DCs in each row is the solid part of the ribbon, it it will snake it's way all around the doily and reconnect in various parts of itself by connecting loops together.

 

It sounds like you are making a loop of 6 chains (plus a few DCs) in rows 1-4.

 

Row 5 is having you connect 2 adjacent 6-chain loops with a sc, then ch-3 (which will be part of another loop), then finish the solid part of that ribbon row.  It looks like you will  travel on in subsequent little rows to outline the heart, making loops on the inside and outside and connecting them up.

 

Here is a site with a few simple diagrams that might help you visualize how the ribbons (or tapes) can worm around and connect to each other http://www.beadsky.com/brugge.php
