and the kittens never lost their mittens

Or not again that is : ) (my little kitten lost some already this year : P) This isn't a really creative, of my own invention, project But I wanted to offer mainly just the idea here in case you haven't thought of it and how simple but helpful it is!

No doubt when you were a kid you likely had some mittens or gloves on a string inside your coat running through the sleeves so you wouldnt lose them. : ) You remember now? Well this is a 2-step project so simple and so useful!

You probably don't need a tutorial but here you are anyway! : )

What you need:
.mittens or gloves
.ribbon or yarn or skinny strip of fleece or jersey (whatever you'd like really!)
.(scissors, needle, and thread)
.and your coat to measure, unless your little kitten will kindly let you measure : P

*First: (ribbon method and simple string only)
Measure your "string" across the back of the coat with a couple inches to spare at the ends.

*Secondly:
Sew ribbon to mittens folding end in and over so it doesn't fray at the ends. : )

*Knit alternative:
If you have knit gloves I would use some coordinating yarn and with a large eyed needle poke it through, tie it off with a loop, and crochet a simple chain the length to the next mitten cut the yarn with a few inches. Pull the end through the other mitten with the needle and tie it. : ) or you could sew it on and not poke through...
