Double Happiness Socks

The Double Happiness symbol is a Chinese character and is usually a decorative symbol. This symbol is used a lot at weddings. My wedding anniversary is June 26th and we’ve had 39 years of happiness together. My parents were married on July 7, 1946. They were married 43 years before my mother passed away and I believe they had a lot of happiness in their marriage. This symbol represents joy and unity. Hopefully whoever wears socks with this symbol on them will find lots of joy in their lives.

These socks can be knit 2 at a time or 1 at a time from the toe up, with your choice of toes and heels. This can be done as a magic loop or 2 circular needles. I separate my yarn into 2 equal balls and work from the separate balls for each sock. You can use a Ziploc bag and poke a hole in one side for the strand of ball 1 and another hole for the strand of ball 2 to keep them from tangling.
