Cut the yarn and hide the tail.

Finishing

Cut a 19-20 cm piece of cord or string and tie a knot. Insert the cord through the side of the mitten so the knot stays inside. Add a little glue to the knot and push it deeper into the fuzzy cuff. Now your mitten will not get lost. Glue on any decoration you like. Your crocheted mitten is ready.
