Pattern Reading

I have searched everywhere without much success.  I am having difficulty understanding the skirt section.

Hi, welcome to the Ville!  What's the name of the pattern?  

[Granny Square]

 It appears that Bl means bullion stitch--the pattern doesn't define the abbreviations, which is unfortunate, because bullion stitches are variable - wrap yarn around the hook x times, insert hook into stitch, yarn over and pull thru all the loops.  Number of times you are to wrap the yarn around will determine the height, which may affect the outcome.  Take a look at you tube to see how the stitch is done.  There are some 'cheat's out there, like using a straw or needle to avoid snagging the loops.

Not to discourage you...I've been crocheting for decades and the bullion is one stitch I never could manage to execute neatly so I usually sub clusters, example 3 triple trebles in a cluster or whatever fits height-wise.  Just throwing this out there, try the bullion first because it is really cooler looking than clusters....
