It's almost Valentines Day so crochet hearts are the order of the day!
I really wanted to make a c2c heart square as the heart emoji
in the blanket I'm working on so I found this heart graph with written instructions.

Although the finished products looks exactly like my heart I had a terrible time with
the written instructions for the heart.
I have made several c2c blankets with stripes but struggled with following graphs.
As I followed the written instructions my heart was out of shape, I frogged several
times, spending a couple nights on the heart until I figured out the written
instructions were coming out backwards for me from row 13 to row 21.
Even though this was frustrating it helped me learn how to properly read graphs.
So I made the heart graph over again and rewrote the instructions so that they
match up with the back and forth that worked for me. I hope that this
is helpful to my readers that want to make a lovely Valentine heart.
