If you still have problems, please email me with the details of exactly where you're going wrong - i.e. at which point your heart stops looking like the one in my photos, and include a photo if possible so I can see what you're doing wrong, and help you further.

How do I extrapolate the magic ring instructions to a pattern that does not use the adjustable ring as a base? Do I just skip the chain x, join w/ sl st part and just crochet Round 1 into the magic ring? Example 1 (from a flower pattern): Ch 4, join w/ sl st to form a ring. Round 1, ch 5, *sc in ring, ch 3; rep from * 5 times, join w/ sl st to 2nd ch of beg ch Example 2 (from a snowflake pattern) Ch 6, sl st to beg ch to form a ring. Round 1: Ch 3, 1 dc in ring, ch 2, * 2 dc in ring, ch 2; repeat from * 5 times. Join to 3rd chain from beginning ch 3 (12 dc 6 ch 2 loops). How would I use an adjustable ring in these patterns. Or can I not? I'm sure the answer's very clear to others, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around to how use the non-adjustable patterns with an adjustable ring method.
