Some days, you just want to stick your tongue out at someone. Since that’s not generally considered polite, a little :P might work better. These socks let you do socks for every mood all in one or socks for each mood you have. Just mix and match the interchangeable charts to create smiley socks, frowny socks, googly eyed socks or every mood you have. They’re like mood rings, only warmer.

These socks are knit toe up with a short-row heel and toe. Complementary colors are used for the toe, heel and cuff of each sock and the Fair Isle method is used for the colorwork emoticons. You can add as many or as few emoticons as you’d like!
