On this pattern:
http://www.knittingonthenet.com/patterns/clothheart.htm
How do I count which stitch is the center one? I am confused because I am increasing. Is the center stitch on the first row always the center? Or do I count each row and find the center of each row?
And…for the “K3 In center stitch” …Do I just knit on the same loop without taking the loop off the left needle? Am I doing that right?
TIA
It looks since you CO 9 that the 5th stitch would be the middle one on the first row, etc. However it’s not making a lot of sense to me so I’m sure someone who’s more awake right now can help you out soon. 
:rollseyes:
I made that … it came out OK , but a little wonky … You count to the center stitch in each row… I think that is why mine is a little off, I got lazy and “guessed” a couple of times. I was sure wishing the pattern was completely written out … row by row. It has been a while since I made this but I think I remember that it DOES NOT start looking like a heart for a while 
kind of bunchie on the needles. Yes, knit all three stitches in the center stitch before moving it to your right needle. Just keep going … row to row … I was SURE it was going to end up a tangled mess, but it came out a heart! I kept saying what Ingrid says over and over … trust the pattern, trust the pattern !
