Place two mitten sides right side to right side and sew around the edge using your preferred method (whip stitch, slip stitch…). Start from row 6 of the cuff, around the hand to end at row 6 of the cuff on the other side.
If adding a fur trim, join eyelash yarn near the seam and work hdc evenly around the cuff. Sl st to first st and finish off.
Weave in ends, turn right-side out and profit!
