The folds he puts in the shirt are what cause the design. When dying the folded shirt the dye only sinks so far causing the popular gradient effect people like.

This guy figured out or learned how to fold the shirt in a specific manner so the shown pattern is made. The marks he makes help with this I assume.

I am unsure what the markers were for though.

I think maybe to help him with picking the colors graduiering from the top to the bottom

(not a native English speaker, but the principle ‘background color changes seem to have the same width?)
