You are going to have to scroll down and really study the notes which should also have been included with the pattern.

Hiya, yes thats the right link. I have tried it every which way to read it and crochet the heart, even following picture tutorias, i'm just not understanding it.

 Thank you for taking time to answer my question

What I would have to do is study the notes and make a list of her abbreviations and their meanings.   Then I would have to write the pattern out replacing the abbreviations with what they meant.

Is there anywhere in the pattern where she says what B is?  SQ is?  I am guessing INC is increase and DEC is decrease.  This should be somewhere in the pattern.

I think a lot is assumed here, and it needs some editing...there are a few "click here to learn..." spots, with no actual links there.

There is a "detailed, step by step pictorial" for a large heart, linked directly under where it says 'small heart', right under the abbreviations area that might help with some of the steps.

In case any of these are easier/written more clearly...none with the same stitch, but maybe one will interest you.

The B is a block it's corner to corner technique. I will try what you said above and have good read and look up details. Think SQ means square but i'll check it out. i'll have  a look through other patterns. Thank you ever so much for your help, much appreciated.
