Good afternoon to all the wonderfully talented crocheters here. I found this pattern on the Russian site (I think) Klubka.net. But I'm not great at diagrams, so I don't know where / or how to start this square. But I'm confident I can find help here.

Oh, and I need diagram help with the flower portion as well. Thanks, Victori1724
