  • Use two strands of floss to blanket stitch just the bottom of the cuff to the mitten on one side.
  • Use the stitched side to help line up the cuff on the second side by placing the mitten pieces wrong sides together.
    Once the cuff piece is lined up, hold it in place and then blanket stitch it to the second mitten side as you did the first side.
