Checkmate Socks are the companion to the Checkmate hat. This pattern results in fun to wear and to knit socks. The garter and lace stitch pattern results in a super stretchy sock that is VERY forgiving in sizing.

The stitch pattern is simple, and easy to memorize, but gives big impact.
Gauge
8 stitches per inch in stockinette
Sizing
One size- fits 7-9.5 inch foot circumference

Directions are given for Magic Loop, but any style of sock knitting works well.
