The first two pieces of beaver mitten that you stitch together are the bottom piece and the palm piece. Start at the edge where it's flat and sew to where the thumb starts, making sure that the corners meet up. With this pattern you have to gather the beaver fur just a little bit. I use two types of stitches, changing between them quite frequently. The two stitches that I use are a basting stitch and a whip stitch.

Once you have the straight part all sewn together, use two needles and start on each side of the base of the thumb. Work on one side for an inch or two then switch to the other side and sew for an inch or two, back and forth until you meet at the top. This should keep the thumb from twisting up too much. Ripping is the worst and I try to keep myself from doing it too often.
