How to Make It
- Yarn & Needles: 4 shades of fingering-weight yarn held double throughout, paired with 6 mm (US 10) needles.
- Cast On: 40 stitches.
- Pattern: Start with 2 strands of Color A. Transition to 1 strand of Color A + 1 strand of Color B, then 2 strands of Color B, and continue sequentially.
- Finishing: Maintain garter stitch throughout to let the marled color shifts remain the focal point.
Tips and Variations
- Choose adjacent palette families, such as blush pink, terracotta, warm ochre, and sand.
