Crochet Veil Pattern – Little Leaf Trellis

by strommercrafts / April 22, 2023

Hello everyone, I hope you have had a lovely spring so far. Today I have another beautiful crochet veil pattern for you, the Little Leaf Trellis Veil!

This lacy crochet veil is created with chains and little “leaves.” After a few rows worked, it really does look like a pretty trellis.

Here’s a close up of the pattern:

As always, these crochet veil projects tend to take a while to finish (at least if you’re like me and devote an hour or two a day). This one took me about a month to finish, but this depends on your length and size.

The Little Leaf Trellis crochet veil is sewed into an infinity style veil. I usually just take both ends of the veil, line them up as straight as possible, and slip stitch my way down to sew it in place. You can easily adjust to the length you need in the foundation row. The formula is a series of 12 chains, no need to add turning chains for this one.

Need help sizing your veil?

Take your foundation row and drape it loosely over your head. Bring the ends together and add more or less chains. I like to have my crochet infinity veils down to my chest so it doesn’t feel too restrictive.

When and why do you wear a veil?

These veils are typically worn during Catholic Masses. Veiling during mass was the norm prior to the Vatican II counsel and was officially dropped from the new Code of Canon Law in 1983. Despite veiling no longer being required, many women still choose to implement the practice as a sign of modesty and respect at Mass.

I always try my best to make pattern instructions clear and easy to follow, if you find a mistake or need help, please make a comment below.

DO NOT CUT THREAD.

Assembly:

Take both edges of the veil and line them up as evenly as possible. Insert hook into both sides and slip stitch your way down to sew into an infinity style veil. Alternatively, you can cut a long enough piece of thread and sew with your tapestry needle. Cut thread with scissors and weave in any ends with tapestry needle.
