    Light & Lovely Lace Weight Crochet Patterns!

    Published: Aug 5, 2013 · Modified: May 15, 2014 by Tamara Kelly · 18 Comments

    Lace weight yarn is officially the category for any yarn thinner than fingering, and has the yarn symbol "0". It's very fine, and includes the thinner crochet thread sizes as well as many lovely soft fibers. It's not as popular as the heavier weights of yarn, but it's treasured by those who use it for it's ability to make thin, drapey, light as air garments. Here are 10 free lace weight crochet patterns - take a look and see!

    Like super bulky at the other end of the yarn spectrum, lace weight yarns come in a variety of sizes. So if you're making a fitted garment like one of the cardigans above, be sure to check your gauge! Lace weight yarn is a rarity in big box craft stores, so you'll have better luck at a local craft store or online. It can by a little pricier by the gram or skein, but you get a LOT of yardage in a skein of lace weight, so take that into consideration! I hope you've enjoyed this roundup of lace weight crochet patterns, and that you are inspired to give lace weight yarn a try!

      I made the Delicate Open Weave top, but longer for my daughters as beach cover-ups. Going to give to them on vacation next month. And made a dress similar to the Summer Raglan Dress for a girl at our church. It turned out adorable and she loves it. I made both with size 3 thread. I don't mind working with size 3, but anything higher is too hard on my fingers.

        Great idea on the beach coverups Kathleen! And I hear you on the thread! I make snowflakes every year and by the time I'm finished my fingertips are done!

      Ooh, I love the hot pink and gray cowl! I might have to make that before it gets cold outside. ♡

      My faves are the Fibonacci Biased and the Lacy Feather & Fan Shawls. Both are quite easy and unique, and although I have too many shawls already, these are must-haves. They'll also make great gifts. I need curtains for 2 uniquely sized windows and the Lacy Feather will make a pair of gorgeous curtains that will workup really quick. Thanks for posting such beautiful patterns!

      Hello, Tamara. I hope to be able to make that feather and fan shawl in red to wear for Christmas. I too have problems with #10 thread. I only make a few things out of it because it hurts my fingers. I have taken a class to knit feather and fan and it's pretty easy but I am a crocheter who sometimes knits so I am faster at crochet. Thanks for posting these.

        You're welcome Colleen! I will say I like the new Bamboo thread better than cotton (and generally I'm a huge cotton fan!). It's a little fuzzy sometimes, but so much softer!

      I am definitely going to make the leaflines shawlette. I have the perfect yarns to pick from for this. Too bad I don't have more of my green yarn that I custom-dyed myself. I only dyed enough to knit a pair of socks. No worries though - I am the queen of laceweight yarn and I live less than a block from my favorite LYS, LOL!

      Me parece un modelo precioso el de Lacy pluma pero tengo dificultad pues la foto muestra un tejido en dos agujas, pero dice que es crochet , lamentablemente no he podido llegar al gráfico, que es con lo que me va mejor sacar las puntadas. Si puedes publicarlo te lo agradecería.

        I'm sorry, I can't make charts for other people's patterns! You'd need to contact the designer.
