(1)
On 1.5 yd. of thread, and leaving an 8-in. tail, pick up thirty-three 11o Cs and form a ring (photo c-1).
(2) Exiting one 11o C bead string two 11o Bs and sew the needle through the next 11oC bead (start forming the triangle shape). Next work two stitches with 11o Cs, one stich with 11o B, two stitches with 11o Cs, at the corner work two 11o Bs per stitch. Then work five stitches with 11o Bs, then string two 11o Bs and sew the needle through the next 11oC bead and finish with five stitches of 11o Bs (photo c-2). Step up through the first one (of the pair) bead added to this round.
(3) At the corner add two 11oAs per stitch, next work one 11o B, one 11o C, two stiches with 11o Bs, one 11o C bead, one 11o B bead and at the corner work two 11oAs per stitch. Next work with 11o Bs and at the corner adding two 11oA beads (photo c-3). Step up.
(4) Exiting one 11o A bead add two 11oAs per stitch, next work one 11o A, two 11o Bs, one 11o A, two 11o Bs, one 11o A and at the corner work two 11oAs per stitch. Next work with 11o As and at the corner adding two beads per stitch (photo c-3). Step up.
(5) At the corner add two 11oAs per stitch, next work two 11o As, one 11o B, two stiches with 11o As, one 11o B bead, two stitches with 11o As and at the corner work two 11oAs per stitch. Next work with 11o As and at the corner adding two 11o A beads per stitch (photo c-4). Step up.
(6) At the corner add two 11oAs per stitch, next work four stiches with 11o As, then weave the thread down through two beads and go up through the one bead, work four 11o As and at the corner work two 11oAs per stitch. Next work with 11o As and at the corner adding two 11oA beads per stitch (photo c-4). Step up.
(7) Next sew the needle through the two beads of the corner, then work four stitches with 11oAs. Weave the thread down and up through the 11o As, work four 11o As, sew the needle through the two corner beads and exiting 11oAs work down ten stitches with 11o As. Next add at the corner two 11o As and finish this step with ten 11oAs (photo c-4). Step up through the first bead added to this round.
(8) Then work three stitches with 11o As. Weave the thread down through the one 11o A and 11o Bs (photo c-4) weave the thread up through the beads and exit 11o A bead from previous step (I suggest not to weave the thread through the upper 11o As, because you won't be able to pass the thread through these beads in future) and work three 11o As, sew down through the two corner and one more 11o A bead. Next work with 11o As and at the lower corner adding two 11oA beads per stitch (photo c-4). Step up through the first bead added at this round.
(9) Exiting 11oA bead work two stitches with 11o As. Weave the thread down through the couple 11o As and then follow the path from step (8) and exit one 11o A bead from previous step. Next work two stitches with 11o As, sew the needle down through the four beads, work ten stiches with 11o As, work two 11oAs at the corner and finish with ten stitches of 11oAs (photo c-5). Step up.
(10) At top of beaded heart beadwork exiting 11oA bead work one stitch with one 11o A bead and repeat at the opposite side (photo c-5).
