Remarks round 4 Round 4 is worked in the back loops. It makes a difference, see the pictures below.
When you use only 1 color or when rounds 4 and 5 are worked in the same color its makes no difference how you work these rounds.
When you dont want to add the round of picots it also looks better to work round 4 in the back loops Color rnd 5 shows
In back loops In back loops, color rnd 5 doesnt show. Remarks round 3
It can make a difference how you work the tip of the heart in round 3. You can crochet the 3 corner stitches in 1 stitch or in 3 stitches. See the pictures below. When the center heart is made in a dark color and round 4 is in a light color it looks better to make the corner in 3 stitches instead of in 1 stitch.

The puff stitch is explained at the and off the written pattern.
