Ollin baby bloomers were inspired by the geometric designs found in Mexico’s pre-Hispanic time. Like the word itself meaning ‘movement’, these geometric designs have lived through many eras, including our own, reminding us of our roots and what our ancestors were capable of achieving.
The Ollin bloomers are beginner-friendly baby shorts, worked legs first, then joined and worked in the round to form the bottom. The mosaic pattern is created through a 14-round repeat.
