Crochet Flower

I figured it out. It took me three tries to get the beginning ring the right size, but after that I didn't have too much trouble with the cluster. The hard part was writing out the pattern - yikes - and this was a really simple pattern. So, without further ado, here is the original next to try #1, try #2, and the successful try #3 with the pattern below. If you try it out, please let me know if anything is confusing or you have trouble with something as this is my first try at writing out a pattern.
