This is currently something I'm working on. It's pretty fast and easy, but it can be a little fiddly when making the loops. To learn how to make the loops click here, and to join it into a circle click here (however, skip the first part about gathering the first side of loops - you don't need to do that for this pattern).
I'm currently making this in a fuchsia size 80 tatting cotton, and I'm using a British size 5 (1.4mm) steel hook with a short handle. It's pretty easy, and my first Hairpin piece. I have an Aero 3/4" hairpin lace loom (looks similar to the metal knitting needles), but you can get adjustable looms.

Traycloth In Crochet
Requires 3 balls of white or other selected colour Coats' Mercer-crochet No. 40; steel crochet hook No. 4 (1.65mm) (Slack workers could use a No. 4.5 (1.5mm) hook and tight workers a No. 3.5 (1.8mm)).
Sunflower Table Set
This pattern requires a No. 8 crocheting hook - I think this might be 1.5mm? It also calls for "Strutt's Macrame Twine", but I think you could possibly get away with using corresponding yarn for the hook.
I think this may be in American crochet terms.
My apologies for the shoddy scan. My scanner is a normal A4 scanner, and doesn't do too well with wide format pages. The last column is as follows:
[...]second circle on top of the first in the same way as for the centre mat, then join on yellow and work foundation round as given for centre mat. Work in rounds of loops as follows:
1st round. -- *4 ch., 1 d.c. in 2nd ch. from hook, 2 ch., miss 1st s.c. on previous round, 1 s.c. into next s.c.; rep. from * all round, sl. st. into base of first loop.
2nd round. -- Sl.st. along edge of 1st loop to single ch. loop at top, * 3ch., 1 d.c. into 2nd ch. from hook, 1 ch., 1 s.c. into single ch. loop at top of next loop ; rep. from * all round, working last s.c. into base of 1st loop. Fasten off.
Lay out the mats on an ironing board or thick cloth and pin out the points in the last round. Press mats well with a hot iron and damp cloth.

Breton Doyley
Requires white, No. 80 crochet cotton, a crochet hook suitable to work, and padding cord.
Does requiring having a padding cord make this a form of Irish crochet? Please let me know in the comments.

Semco Rose Filet Doyley
Please note:
21st Row. -- 1 h. on each h.
The Doyley is now worked off in sections to form scalloped edge as follows: -- Commence at tr. in line with second h. from rose. * 4 h, cramp 3 h. on next 2 h., 4 h., turn 1 h. on each h., end off, miss 10 h. of 21st. Row. Repeat from *.
EDGE -- 3 d.c. into each h., working 5 ch. after every second d.c. of every second h. to form a picot.
I am not sure if this is in American crocheting terms, or British. I am assuming British however, because Madame Weigel's Journal Of Fashion was an Australian publication (and we generally use British crocheting terms. Or at least, used to.) Please see the link here.
