SOS--Need Help Modifying Heart Hat for Child

Hi Zimmermaniacs...

I want to make the heart hat for a 7 year old girl, and I'm having trouble modifying the pattern because I can't figure out what EZ is thinking!

She says that you can use 10+1 as your base. Got that.

Orphaned stitches are 10% of X + 1.
Final un-cast off stitches are 20% X + 1.

The point decrease of s1 k2tog psso happens at the center, and I think it starts on 1/2 x, right?

The end decreases gradually move inward--each turn happens 1 stitch earlier in, right?

I'm assuming you do this until you have 5 stitches on each end outside the turn.

After that, I'm totally lost! I don't understand the logic it takes to get down to the final 20% X + 1.

Can anyone help me? I want to 40 as my x...
My email is in my profile... thanks in advance--
