This pattern is written in tutorial style, with lots of photos to completely illustrate the trickier steps, and includes 2 head versions, one with a ring and one 'solid head'. While the example and instructions use size 5 crochet thread, size 3 thread or sport weight yarn works equally well- just change the size of your plastic ring to 1 inch and adjust your hook size accordingly.

I have been crocheting since about 1974 at age 8 when my mother taught me with regular yarn and larger crochet hooks. A year or so later, she found a bag that had been her mother's which contained some gorgeous doilies her mother had made, along with some skinny crochet thread and some impossibly small steel crochet hooks.
I fell in love on the spot, created my very first doily without any pattern by copying one of hers, using her hooks and her thread. I have been designing and crafting small articles such as doilies, coasters, snowflakes and angels ever since! (Although I do confess to using patterns too!) Every time I make something I feel a kinship with the grandmother I was never able to meet, and so her spirit is alive in me- all these years later, and still use her hooks, which are now over 60 years old!
