A friend asked me to crocheted a prayer shawl or a chapel veil. I could not find a pattern so I simply crocheted a full-sized shawl but used #10 cotton thread and a size 2.7mm steel hook. It worked perfectly. I already have an order for another one. The shawl pattern I used is a heritage pattern from the early 1900’s, called Seems Like Old Times on Ravelry.

What a beautiful idea!
Thank you for posting this. I’ve been wanting to crochet a mantilla… This one is beautiful and you are a genius for thinking of using crochet thread and small needle…
