Handmade Gift
Materials Needed:
knitted or crocheted mittens
12-ply bakers twine
coordinating all-purpose thread
scissors
all-purpose sewing needle
Determine Letter Shape
Place mittens palm-side down on work surface. Take end of bakers twine and form desired letter for monogram. It's best to stick with a simple, scrolling letter style, so it's easy to shape and stitch in place. Note: Leave excess twine uncut to prevent fraying.
Stitch Monogram to Mitten
Thread needle and double knot at end. Slide needle under bakers twine, through mitten and pull thread through, loop around and repeat to stitch twine to mitten. Repeat this stitch, securing twine to mitten to form the letter's shape. If using red thread, try to position stitches on red stripes to hide them. Tip: Make sure stitches aren't too deep, so both sides of mitten aren't sewn together.
Finish Stitching Monogram
Where twine needs to loop, allow it to overlap and stitch both sections of twine together to mitten (Image 1). At the end of letter, trim excess twine and secure the end with several stitches to prevent fraying (Image 2). Repeat process with second mitten (Image 3).
