As the sister design to Antique Flora Mitts, the Copenhagen Mittens capture the essence of Scandinavian design—functional, beautiful, and straightforward. Crafted from cozy DK yarn, these mittens are a tribute to the traditional yet always contemporary Nordic style, featuring a flowing cable pattern that is both a pleasure to knit and to wear.

Copenhagen Mittens are an enjoyable journey in knitting, beginning with a comfortable ribbed cuff that transitions into a landscape of textured stitches and cables, reminiscent of Copenhagen’s peaceful waterways. The construction is straightforward: knitted in the round from cuff to fingertips, with a thoughtful thumb gusset that adds to the mittens’ comfort and fit. The journey culminates with a neat kitchener stitch to close the fingers, ensuring a smooth and professional finish. They offer full coverage, making them ideal for those colder months when warmth is as much a necessity as style.

With these mittens, you’re not just knitting a pair of warmers; you’re creating a timeless accessory. The combination of rich textures and the comforting embrace of the softest yarns make these mittens a winter wardrobe essential. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting, Copenhagen Mittens offer a rewarding experience and a chic, practical addition to your collection.

Yarn: Chosen for the Copenhagen Mittens is the luxurious Midknit Cravings Comfort Sport/DK 85% superwash merino / 15% nylon 100g per skein. This yarn, known for its softness, strength, and silky stitch definition, comes in an array of beautiful tonal hues, perfect for highlighting our mittens’ Scandinavian cables. While we adore this yarn for its quality and vibrant colors, feel free to choose any DK or sport weight yarn. The design’s versatility shines through in your personal yarn selection, ensuring each pair of mittens is as unique as the hands they warm.
