I know you’re supposed to write something clever here, or witty, or even inspiring, but I just don’t ever know what to write when describing my designs so that it doesn’t sound like a food blogger trying to use every SEO/Keyword possible, so here is the Maya Shawl.

I designed this back in 2021 for Lion Brand using their heartland yarn, and then I forgot what happened but it didn’t get published and they let me share the pattern anyway. I also don’t remember where this name came from, so that’s also a fun thing. :)
