FINISHING
Sew up side seams of the mittens. On the cross stitch palm side sew from the very edge of the work while taking the full extra stitch on the other side so that only one complete rib is shown. When you get to the cuff you will then take more from both sides so that you end up with a small purl rib. Weave in all ends.
