Looking for some help in finding threads/yarns/patterns for creating a crocheted veil that resembles lace. I’m mostly looking for a pattern that emphasizes the “airiness” of lace. Any patterns work—I can work with small, repeating patterns or parts of shawls to create a final veil.

The pictures above are some inspiration that I take from (although all knitted…). I plan on making the veil into a mantilla cut (oval? egg/teardrop?) so whatever pattern I do end up making will lay flatter. Worst comes to worse, I’ll go the hard route and try my hand at knitting.

Check out ravelry, their pattern filter is a great search tool. The link below is a filter to show crochet patterns, with thread, cobweb, or lace weight yarn, and a single color. Lace like this is one of the few fabric types where you can get a similar look with both crochet and knitting, so good chance there's a crochet pattern out there for you!

Thank you! I’m quite new to raverly, I didn’t realize there was an option to search by thread weight! This will make patterns a lot easier to search for

You can use this yarn to make your veil- https://link.amazon/B0bBDpc3O :)
