(Joining) Fold cuff in half bringing beginning row to ending row and line up sc stitches to first row of cuff.  Slip Stitch (ss) corresponding stitches together to form the cuff. Turn so seam is on the inside.  You are now working on the outside of mitten.    (change colors here if you wish)


BODY OF MITTEN: (You might want to place a stitch marker or piece of yarn, on the first stitch of the round, to keep track).

Rnds 5, 7: 1 sc in first sc then ch 3.. Skip the next 3 sc and sc in 4th sc (this creates a hole where the mitten's thumb will be attached).  Continue on with your rnd to the end, join with a sl st, ch 1, turn. (19 sts and 3 ch sts in your row)

Rnds 6    8 : Sc in each sc and the 3 chain stitches all around, ss to join, ch 1, turn.  (You should now have 22 (26) sts again)
