The diagram is a visual representation of the pattern, where symbols are used to represent stitches.

Start with chaining a multiple of 3 + 2. The “+2” chains (colored yellow in the diagram) include the turning chain for single crochet.

Note: In the first row of 3 double crochet clusters, the turning chain is 3 chains. In subsequent rows, it’s only 2 chains because double crochets worked into spaces are taller than those worked into stitches.
