Dive into the waters of the Lady of the Lake, sometimes known as Nimue, with this gorgeous fully illustrated pattern book by crochet expert Shelley Husband. Nimue is a must have addition to your crochet library, providing you with countless hours of joy creating this beautiful crochet blanket.
Nimue is a recurring character in Arthurian legends. Most commonly, she is the lady of the lake - custodian of Excalibur. She is a seer, a guardian - mysterious and powerful.
Nimue will keep you safe as you work your way through the blanket, from the water lily-like centre to the edges of the lake and beyond. You will encounter challenges as you progress, but there are many tranquil sections to rest between adventures. When those challenges arise, Nimue will guide you with her wise counsel.
The Nimue Crochet Blanket begins with the Nymph pattern from Shelley's Granny Square Patchwork book. This pattern is then extended to become the Avalon centrepiece. Avalon is surrounded by a verge of Caltha squares, before your quest for Nimue is completed.
Pattern instructions are provided in both UK & US terms.
