The Marled Scarf is a modern take on basic garter stitch. Four shades of our soft and durable Deluxe Worsted Superwash yarn blend to create a marled gradient of newsprint greys, while deliberately placed holes in the fabric give this piece a chic distressed look. The simple stitch pattern and edgy vibes make for a beginner-friendly project with bold results!
