From the pattern:

This is a quick, glamorous knit, perfect as a gift. It has a lovely drape, a soft feel and the wool/mohair yarn adds warmth. The beauty is not in the technique (it’s a length-wise knit garter stitch scarf), but in the contrast and color of the yarns. If you tend to use more yarn than required for projects, you will want to get 2 balls of the Marrakesh.
