Elegant Knitwear for Kids (don’t worry - it’s machine-washable)
By metropolitanmama | June 7, 2008
In my humble opinion, children’s clothing should be:
- soft
- simple
- sweet
- machine-washable
- not too grown-up
- not too branded
- not too extravagant
- just comfortably cute
When I found the Picaflorkids knitwear collection, I checked off all of the items on that list and realized that they meet my criteria. The material is soft. The colors are cheerful. The styles are simple.
Check out these examples:
Picaflor is a mom-owned company and is headquartered in Portland, Oregon. Picaflor doesn’t sell items directly from their site, but you can find them at brick-and-mortar stores across the U.S. or purchase pieces from online retailers.
WIN IT! One winner will receive a Gabi Unisex Romper (SIZE 12 MONTHS) in Turquoise/Mint and a Turquoise Ear Cap (SIZE 12 MONTHS). To enter, leave a comment on this post prior to Sunday, June 15 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). * Contest is open to readers from any country.
P.S. I know this doesn’t fit neatly into the “girl stuff” category for this weekend, but Picaflor’s girl pieces are so feminine…it just seemed like a nice addition.
*UPDATE* The winner is #92 Erica G. Congratulations!

Oh, I love your description of what you think children’s clothing should be! Especially “not too grown up” and “just comfortably cute”.
Thanks so much for stopping by my site and commenting. And for picking my article. I really appreciate it!

These are really cute. I agree with what I look for in kids clothes!
I LOVE the frills on dresses, but I don’t let my little girls wear the ones with trim or stiffer material, because *I* hate wearing something that scratchy, and I want to make sure that they don’t sleep in it y’know? How uncomfy would it be to wake up from naptime, sweating with material like that against your skin?
I love these clothes because I don’t worry about who the baby is with, I know the girls will be comfy
June 8th, 2008 at 4:21 am
I have seen this site and love it..my nephew would look so cute in this

June 8th, 2008 at 8:08 am
Wow. I’ve never heard of this company. I love the pictures and your description. Do they need ironing? Because no ironing is a plus for me when it comes to kids clothing.
June 8th, 2008 at 8:25 am
Those clothes are adorable.
June 8th, 2008 at 8:50 am
The Erica Sleeveless in Aquamarine is sweet. Love the Hot Pink YaYa Puff Romper. Your featured item is perfect.

June 8th, 2008 at 11:15 am
Their clothes are so cute! I love the little striped rompers. It’s so fun to dress my son up since he doesn’t have the ability to tell me if he thinks something is dorky or not. Whatever his mom likes wins!
June 8th, 2008 at 11:57 am
Very cute and perfect for hot Florida summers.

Wow… I’m hoping to win!
June 8th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
i am glad that these knit items are machine washable. i love the look and feel of knit but to handwash and then shape back and air dry is really tiresome.
the site is nice and the clothing choices are beautiful
June 8th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
This romper is really adorable. Thank you for offering this giveaway.
June 8th, 2008 at 4:11 pm

June 8th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
i Love the Hot Pink YaYa Puff Romper. gosh i can’t imagine anyone wouldn’t say this is their favorite even if you have a son it would be a cute gift for someone who had a daughter
June 8th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
That pink romper is precious! I am a knitter but don’t think I could ever make something quite like that! Love them all!
June 8th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
this is lovely and I would give it to a friend expecting a little girl!
June 8th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
I really like the pink romper and we could use it for our girl.

The romper is so adorable. Love it!
June 9th, 2008 at 6:14 am
It is hard to find cute styles for infant boys-but they have done it. The Guayabera Boy Set is adorable.
June 9th, 2008 at 6:29 am
Since I don’t know yet what my great grandbaby-to-be is, this would be perfect
June 9th, 2008 at 7:59 am
That pink set is soooooo cute! I love that they are machine washable too!
June 9th, 2008 at 8:06 am
It’s unisex, so it definitely fits for a girls weekend. And it’s so cute. I love how they describe the design: styled like a depression era swimsuit. Makes me think of my grandma and what she must have been wearing back in the day. I love it.
June 9th, 2008 at 8:13 am
THANK YOU GOD BLESS
June 9th, 2008 at 8:15 am
I’ts nice to have things a little different in the girls collection of things. Most of our stuff is pink and purple, I like to throw in blues and oranges. White’s are really cute. I think this romper is cute and it’s easy to get them on and off! Thanks.
June 9th, 2008 at 8:29 am
darling, comfortable clothing!
June 9th, 2008 at 8:47 am
What adorable clothes, so many different ones!
June 9th, 2008 at 9:41 am
So cute!
June 9th, 2008 at 9:47 am
These look cute, and Cheeks will love the outfit when she’s big enough. I get nervous about knits because some of them are so rough or itchy, but I trust your clothing judgement (and your little cutie always looks so stylin’), so I’m interested. Thanks!
June 9th, 2008 at 9:49 am
Look so comfy and CUte!
June 9th, 2008 at 10:20 am
That is simply precious. Would be great for the grandbaby.
June 9th, 2008 at 10:52 am

I’ve never heard of this company either! I’m due in September and would love to win this. thanks
June 9th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
Adorable outfits, they look so cozy! The unisex romper would be perfect for my little guy who is 7 months but already wearing 12 months clothes. It seems my kids are never in the right size for their age?!?!
June 9th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
What’s not to like on their adorable site?! I like it all…..One of my favorite pieces is the
“Organic Cotton Heart Dress” with chocolate trim!

June 9th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Picaflor really does have adorable outfits. By the way, great pointers on children’s clothing - I agree with every one of them, especially ‘not too grown-up’ and ‘machine-washable’!
June 9th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
Love some of the non clothing items also - beautiful fairy vintage wall clock is my favorite
June 9th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
It a great outfit!!!
June 9th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
Their clothes are fantastic. They’re cute and look so comfy.
June 10th, 2008 at 1:31 am
That little lacy pink outfit is so cute! I’d love to win this prize as a baby gift for my sister! (And thank goodness they are machine washable)
June 10th, 2008 at 7:50 am
I’d glad the prize isn’t “girl stuff”. Unisex baby clothes are better.
June 10th, 2008 at 8:01 am
How adorable. I’d love to win one of these for my cousin that is expecting her first baby. Easy care material is wonderful with babies.
June 10th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Adorable clothes! Perfect for my quickly growing 6 month-old!

I would love to have this for my daughter. So cute.
June 10th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
I’m so glad the giveaway is more “unisex”. Although the girly stuff is cute, I don’t think my dh would appreciate me dressing our boys in them. lol
June 10th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
great contest
June 10th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
So adorable and I love that it’s knit! I’ll have to keep my eyes open for this brand…
