Bind off.
With right side facing out, sew up mitten with mattress stitch starting at the cuff. Sew 12 stitches from the cuff and 8 more stitches, then skip 10 stiches (these will be picked up for the thumb) and with another strand of yarn, sew up the rest of the mitten. -

Pick up and knit the 10 stitches from each side of the mitten that weren’t sewn into the seam. Join in the round.
