Crochet Infinity Veil for Mass – Free Pattern

by strommercrafts / June 10, 2022

Hello everyone, I hope summer has been treating you all well! Today I have a crochet infinity veil pattern for you.

The girls have been playing with my veil at mass and it got me inspired to make their own! I didn’t want to spend the money on getting veils for them when they’re this little, so I thought it would be fun to try making them myself.

I tried looking up a crochet pattern for a veil, but I couldn’t find much. It was mostly people trying to sell their finished crochet veils on Etsy (which I’m cheap so didn’t want to buy a pattern lol!). Or it was tutorials on how to sew your own veil together with different materials.

I did find this post helpful from Crocheting with Joy. I liked her idea of taking a shawl pattern and turning it into a veil. However, I personally wear an infinity veil and I wanted to recreate that style instead of a V shape.

This pattern does require a teeny tiny hook (1.65 mm to be exact) and size 10 crochet thread. The delicacy of the tiny thread gives it a lovely, lacy look.

This was very much a labor of love, it did take a long time to get the crochet infinity veil to the length that I wanted it. With that said, once you get the pattern down, it’s easy to tackle while you’re watching your favorite show or listening to a podcast.

Why wear a veil to mass?

Although wearing a veil to mass is no longer a requirement, some women may want to continue the tradition of wearing one to mass.

One of the main reasons why women veil at mass is to humble herself before God during the mass where Christ is present in the Eucharist.

It is also seen as being modest and respectful.

Crochet Infinity Veil for Mass Pattern:

You can make your own veil shorter or longer by chaining a repeat of:

Ch 15+4

All that means is to chain 15 over and over until you’re happy with the length, and then add 4 more chains to the end of that.

I would drape the middle of the foundation chain over your head (or the head of whoever you’re making it for!) to get an idea of how long you need.

We will be folding the fabric in half at the end and sewing both ends to create the infinity part, so keep that in mind!

Row 1: Dc into 5th ch away from hook, ch 1, skip a ch, sc into next ch, (ch 3, skip 2 chs, sc into next ch) x3 times.

*Ch 1, skip 2 chs, shell into the next ch, so (dc, ch 1, dc, ch 1, dc, ch 1, dc, ch 1, dc).

Ch 3, (dc, ch 3, dc) into center ch 3 space of previous row’s petals.*

Repeat from *to* until last (dc, ch 3, dc) made, ch 3, dc into last 2 dc.

Repeat Rows 2-6 until desired height.

Sewing Together:

Fold in the crochet veil in half. Line the edges up and insert your hook through both sides. Slip stitch down the edge to sew together. Try your best to line up the stitches as evenly as possible for a clean look.

Cut thread with scissors and weave in ends with tapestry needle.

Here’s my oldest girl modeling the crochet veil. She was doing a great job being very serious for me lol!
