Short overview of the pattern:
The scarf consists of 10 blocks, which are connected in the process of knitting so there are no seams. Each block is worked inwards on circular ("magic loop" method) or double-pointed needles, the same way socks and other seamless garments are made.

Directions:

Block 1
Cast on 120 st, join and continue to work in rounds.
Round 1: purl till the last st of the round. Place a marker before the last st.
Round 2 (decrease round): Work cdd with the last st of the previous round and 1st and 2nd sts of this round, *k27, place marker, cdd - repeat from * 3 times, k27. = 112 sts
Round 3 and all odd rounds: purl
Round 4 and all even rounds: knit, working cdd after the markers, decreasing each round for 8 sts.
Round 5: purl
Repeat rounds 4-5: until 8 sts remain. Cut yarn, leaving a 10" (25 cm) tail. Pull through all the remaining sts and secure.

Block 2
Cast on 89 sts and pick up 31 sts along one side of block 1, join and continue to work in rounds as block 1.

All next squares are worked as block 2.

Knit 10 squares or until desired length.

Enjoy!
