Lately, we’ve been seeing the cutest buffalo plaid pumpkins with all different colors of buffalo plaid prints. We got to thinking what is the difference between buffalo plaid and regular check pattern? Here is what we found. Buffalo plaid, also known as buffalo check or gingham, has subtle differences and is a type of design that’s a large square check pattern made of horizontal and vertical stripes. Check patterns are a type of pattern that usually has only two colors, while plaid patterns have 3 or multiple colors.
