Do you know how to sew elastic thread by hand in your handmade projects? You can make a mitten cuff or a sock cuff fit a lot more comfortably if you add a little bit of elastic thread to it.

This is an excellent solution to make non-elastic fabric more snug. Tunisian crochet and regular crochet are not known for their elasticity, so you can help them with a little elastic thread used for sewing.

The thread can be usually found in craft stores, textile stores and online.
Here are some Amazon affiliate links (no extra cost to you, but I make a few cents if you use the links below).
