For petals and details, go down to gauges 22, 24, or 26: the framework remains sturdy, the finish remains delicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003eAssembly suggestion for a large sunflower: mount the center on a gauge 18 loop, let dry for 24 hours, then attach petals on gauge 24 stems in crossed rows.
