Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- Ribbon or cord
- New mittens
- Child's coat
-
Step 1
Do not continue if your child is under 5 years old. This method uses a piece of string which can be a strangulation hazard for younger children.
-
Step 2
Run the string in at the cuff of one arm of the child's jacket and back out the other arm.
-
Step 3
Leave about a hand's length extra hanging out at the cuffs and cut the string off.
-
Step 4
Tie one end of the string to the wrist of one of the mittens. Some mittens come with a loop that makes this job easy. With knit mittens, you just need to push the string through the knit fabric. A blunt yarn needle will make this easier. With sewn mittens, you'll need to sew on a loop of ribbon.
-
Step 5
Tie the other end of the string to the cuff of the other mitten.
