I started this kicking bag just before my nephew Henry was born, in fact I knitted quite a lot of it while my sister was in labour.
I had been saving this lovely sock yarn for a special project, so this well & truly hit the mark.
Thanks to the fantastic Purl Bee tutorial I finished it using kitchener stitch. It's far from perfect, but if done well it creates a lovely seamless finish, I think the secret is in getting the tension right.
I I liked this project, although I think next time I would swap the mini cable for 2x2 rib. It was quite a monotonous knit, but it's handy to have a project you can pick up without having to think about where you are up to & I think the finished project is a very sweet baby gift.

So beautiful, both the bag and the babe.

SO sweet!
love the yarn and those photos of your nephew are gorgeous.
What a gorgeous baby.
Oh hello Henry! Very nice crafty lady. Have fun with your new nephew.
That sweet baby would be one to knit and knit for.
The mysteries of the k stitch still elude me, but I do think that the tension factor is key.
Best wishes.
