To make these I used a bulky weight yarn, a size 'I' crochet hook and 1 1/4" diameter plastic rings (I think the rings were originally used to hang curtains).
To make 1 petal cluster (each flower has a total of 5 clusters):
slip stitch through the plastic ring and chain 5 stitches; *YO 3 times, insert hook into ring and YO again; YO and draw through 2 loops on hook 3 times* (2 loops remaining on hook) repeat from * to* 2 mores times. YO and drawn through all 4 loops on hook. Chain 5 and slip stitch through the plastic ring (counts as beginning slip stitch for next petal).
After 5 clusters on plastic ring chain stitch until 4" long (about 15 stitches). Do not break yarn, start next flower by making a petal cluster as described above.
