The Sunflower doily is one interesting pattern that I've worked using some soft 3-ply yarn and a 1.5 mm crochet hook. The pattern is a bit complicated in parts but I've given loads of photos and the explanations are very exhaustive to make it easy to work on. Come along and join me as we work on this fantastic creation.
