Solomon’s Knot Crochet Veil Pattern

by strommercrafts / January 16, 2023

Hey there everyone, today I have another crochet veil pattern for you, the Solomon’s Knot Crochet Veil!

I’ve been having a lot of fun making these lacey veils lately. It’s very therapeutic, and I can somewhat turn my brain off when making them (bonus!).

These crochet veils are typically worn during a Catholic Mass. Wearing a veil to mass is not a requirement, but some women continue the tradition of wearing one as a way to humble oneself before God.

With that said, if you like wearing a veil to mass, you may have noticed that these veils can be a little pricey. I wanted to make one that would fit my 4 year old, but didn’t want to spend 20-30 dollars on one that she’d grow out of eventually.

Luckily, crochet thread is still super cheap, so all you need is the time to make the actual veil. Making this child size one took me about 4 days of crocheting off and on.

The Solomon’s Knot Crochet Veil is made up entirely of a special stitch called…you guessed it; the solomon’s knot. The solomon’s knot stitch is made simply by pulling up “longer” loops than normal and single crochets. This creates a lacey, diamond-like shape in your work.

I’ve made a child size crochet veil for this project today, but you can easily adjust the length of your veil by using a repeat of 2+4.

Solomon’s Knot Crochet Veil Pattern:

To make your foundation chain, make a repeat of 2+4

This means to make a multiple of 2 SK stitches plus 4 SK stitches at the end for your turning ch.

For this child size veil, make 90 SK stitches.

Row 1: Ch 2, sc in first ch. Pull up a loop about ¾” tall (or to your desired height) with your crochet hook. Yarn over, and pull through your big loop. Insert your hook into the single, back “bump” of your work, make a sc in that bump. This is a solomon’s knot (SK) stitch. Continue making SK stitches until you reach your desired length (remember, it needs to be able to drape over your head comfortably).

Row 2: Turn, sc in the 4th sc from your hook, *make 2 SK stitches, skip a sc, sc in next sc*. Repeat from *to* until end of row. You should end with a sc in the last sc.

Row 3: Make 3 SK stitches, turn, sc in the “middle” sc of previous rows 2 SK stitches, *make 2 SK stitches, skip a sc, sc in next sc.* Repeat from *to.*

Repeat Row 3 until you’ve reached the desired length for your veil.

Edge:

To make a ch 3 picot: ch 3, insert your hook into the previous sc made and make a sl st in that sc.

Row 1: Ch 1, *sc in next sc, 2 sc in first loop, (sc, ch 3 picot, sc) in middle sc, 2 sc in next loop, sc in next sc.* Repeat from *to*

Assembly:

Fold the crochet veil in half, line up the sides and sew together by slip stitching into both sides all the way down. Try to sl st as evenly as possible on both sides.
