BABY BUFFALO ROSE
Baby Buffalo Rose is the little version of the Buffalo Rose Pullover! This top-down, seamless yoke sweater for kids ages 1-12 is the second in a series featuring a colorwork motif that pairs classic buffalo plaid with an overlay of roses in full bloom, a dance between hard and soft lines, structure and flow. This motif is an homage to the paradoxical interplay between old and new that is Portland, Oregon, City of Roses, a wellspring of growth and artistry within the rugged, forested backcountry.
The incredible range of gorgeous tonal colorways from Sugarplum Circus on her bouncy Merino Sport base really make this motif sing. Choose dense, saturated jewel tones or bold, poppy neons; play those against high or low contrast neutrals to really customize your kiddo's sweater!
