Dive into the waters of the Lady of the Lake, sometimes known as Nimue.
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 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.
Come on a crochet quest with me to make the Nimue Crochet Blanket.
Inside you'll find;
Nimue will be your guiding light, helping you create a crochet heirloom with ease.
The Nimue Crochet Blanket begins with the Nymph pattern from my 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.
If you can crochet a granny square, and know the most common stitches and techniques, you have all the skills you need to embark on your Nimue adventure. With the support in the pattern, anyone with basic skills and a willingness to try new things will succeed.
When made with 8 ply/DK/light worsted with a 4.5 mm hook, Nimue will be 158 cm/62" across. She sits well on top of a queen sized bed.
You will need 4,183 metres/4,575 yards of 8ply/DK/light worsted that is 2.485 metres per gram.
Yarn info for other yarn weights can be found here on the blog.
Once ordered, you can download the full Nimue pattern in PDF form as soon as checkout is complete from the order confirmation page or the order confirmation email.

I bought this for my mother who is an average crocheter. So far so good!! Loves the easy instructions and stitch explanations.
I’ve only just started the blanket but it has turned out to be really enjoyable. Learning new techniques. You can’t go wrong with the excellent instructions, and I use all the book offers - written, charts, and round by round breakdown.
Beautiful pattern in an absolutely beautiful book
I love the pattern, I just have to get the yarn, I know what I want
This is my first pattern by Shelley. While it is challenging, it is so beautiful and the work that has gone into the book is amazing. There is so much help in the book and in the online videos, I just know this will be one of my favourites 😀
