Ok please help me:(((( I've been trying to figure out this stupid thing for a month now I now admit I need help lol

Welcome to the ville

 

Ok, looks like this is the pattern http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/us/pattern.php?id=5584〈=us

 

Emmett, please tell us exactly what it is you want help with.  Do you simply not understand the whole thing, or are there parts you need help with?  Do you understand how to read the stitch diagrams?  Drops paterns are not as detailed as most US patterns, they leave more up to the crocheter to figure out.  I personally am not a fan of them and would not recommend them for anyone who does not have a lot of crochet pattern-using experience.  Also, I love stitch diagrams, but the style of the Drops diagrams is a bit more difficult to use, I think, than the usual US/UK/Japanese diagram.  

 

One good step is to write out the directions in complete words, and only the information needed for the size you are making.  That should help you understand it.  

 

I notice the written part refers to diagram M1, but probably it means X1 since there is not a diagram M1 as far as I can see.
