Inspired by the mystical geometry of the ancient Mayan people, this intricate blanket is an exploration of the Yucatan peninsula through crochet. The radiating lines of the central hexagon reflect the pyramids at Chichen Itza, while the surrounding shapes are reminiscent of the Mayan calendar. Enclosing it all are the rippling forms of the subtropical forest and the clear blue skies.
This motif is equally beautiful made in one colour to show off the stitch work, or worked in multiple colours for a kaleidoscopic effect.
Any crocheter with basic skills will enjoy this crochet adventure. If you can make a granny square, you can make the Mayan Crochet Blanket.
The pattern includes;
The blanket motif measures 20″ square. Four motifs will make a striking lap throw, six a blanket perfect for sharing and nine will make a spectacular blanket.

I am finishing Minue, this is next. such an interesting look can't wait to start.
Shelly’s beautiful ‘medallion-like’ crochet squares in her Mayan blanket are a joy to make, as is the resulting blanket. The design offers many possibilities to play with the result, either working with a solid colour or creating your own colour collage.
I find this pattern very smooth flowing and relaxing. The pattern is well written and easy to follow. The Hints and tips pages are very clear and if still unsure, there are the excellent videos. I found that I only had to refer to the videos a couple of times. I have only made one complete and a partial square basically as a sample. Very happy with the result and I am now waiting on my yarn order to arrive. I plan to make the 6 square rectangular blanket. I feel "in the moment" whilst crocheting this pattern. Excellent.
I am loving this pattern! Some rows flow and others I frog a few times before they make sense! I am about halfway through my first square. It is the hardest/biggest this adventurous beginning has attempted and I am so excited to find myself able to do it. Shelley accompanying video is extremely useful.Also having worked my way through most of Granny Square Academy was a very useful starter for being able to do this.
What a beautiful and elegant pattern. I wanted to crochet a blanket for our country homestead and was deliberating for a long time on choosing the right pattern. I finally decided on the Mayan crochet blanket pattern. Well what can I say. Shelley's ebook provides all the information that you will require. I didn't think I was capable to crochet this square but I have surprised myself.
Thank you Shelley .
