Yes, perhaps I have a slight obsession with knitting baby kina’s. This one being my 4th one knitted this year. I just can’t help myself. It’s such a sweet little cardigan, easy to knit and can be worn with anything.
I knit this one in Bendigo’s Spring Cotton which is a new yarn of cotton with a touch of lycra. It feels more substantial than the regular cotton and has a bit of stretch in it which I like.
And the colour I am totally in love with. I’m such a pink girl and this hot pink is just gorgeous. I was in love with it from the moment I saw the shade card. Sometimes Bendigo get a little stuck with their pale colours so having a bright hot pink is very welcome in this house.
The buttons were an eBay find and were just the perfect way to finish off the project.
And models don’t come cuter than my Elodie.
Now the fun of picking my next knitting project! And perhaps stocking up on a little more Spring Cotton for the stash! And you can find all the details of this project on my ravelry page here.
Just gorgeous!
I sent a request through the other week for some brighter cotton colours, so hopefully next years card will contain some
Such a cute model! And such a great cardy!
I bought the pattern a few weeks ago, but have yet to get any wool to give it a whirl. I think i’ll give it a go next week. I told myself I had to finish my cowl (that I started during winter!) before I start something else.
She is beautiful!
I have some of the exact same yarn for the same cardigan for Amelie. t looks lovely all knitted up. I agree with you on the colours, they could have done with some more bright colours, a brighter yellow, a nice spring green and they really need a red in there too.
She is just too cute, especially that first photo, and love the cardi and jeans!
oooooh that baby of yours is so cute i could eat her all up! the little cardi is just gorgeous, i’m a pink girl too.

Very cute
Your Elodie is just the best. I’m sure you knit kinas just to brighten our day with her super cute smile! Thanks for sharing. Cherrie

Elodie is the best model
It’s so nice to see her healthy and laughing
Awwww Elodie, she’s just SO sweet :o) Love all of these photos Corrie. The cardigan looks lovely and the buttons are gorgeous. I can see why you like making that one so much, it looks so good on xo
So glad to see your little girl is so much better! Cute little model too. I love the shot from the back, I can imagine her saying ‘okay Mum just one more photo…’
So sweet
Gorgeous model and gorgeous knitting! Where can one find a baby kina pattern?? I’d like to knit one similar in a girls size for a 7 year old??
Buahaha I know this comment is on an old post, but I had to say how DIVINE Elodie is. The kina is cute, but OMG I CAN see why you keep having bubbas
