You almost have it! Change your margin property inside .col to margin-left and that should work.

Hey the left margin in css is margin-left here is the code I test and worked

$color-brand:#6a5acd;
h1 {
  color:$color-brand;
}
$gutter:20px;
.col {
  margin-left:$gutter;
}

PS. A tab will be more comfortable if you're writing a long code
