Magic Stripe Basic Socks
Lion Brand® Magic Stripes
GAUGE: 28 sts + 40 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in St st (k every stitch in the round; k on RS, p on WS when knitting flat). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

| Magic Stripe Basic Socks Reviewed by Saundra Neely on 2009-09-25 |
 |
| These were my very first pair of socks. Although Magic Stripe yarn has been discontinued, the pattern still is a good one for a basic sock pattern. Just be sure to use a comparable weight yarn for a dependable result. You can cross reference yarns on this website.
