“Arbolito” stands for “a little Christmas tree” in Spanish.

Arbolito is a festive and heartwarming knitting pattern for a pair of socks that celebrates the joy of the holiday season. With charming little pine trees and delicate geometric Christmas ornaments, this design captures the spirit of Christmas in every stitch. The rich red main color contrasts beautifully with the crisp white colorwork, creating a cozy and cheerful vibe perfect for winter celebrations. Made with 100% natural, unprocessed wool, these socks will keep your feet warm and your holiday spirit bright. Whether for gifting or wearing, “Arbolito” is a sweet reminder of holiday cheer.
