Crafted from cozy DK yarn, these mittens are a tribute to traditional yet always contemporary Nordic style, featuring a flowing cable pattern that is a pleasure to knit. The comfortable ribbed cuff flows into textured stitches and cables reminiscent of Copenhagen’s peaceful waterways. Full coverage makes them ideal for colder months, balancing warmth and style in an everyday accessory you’ll reach for often. --- ### **Design Details** The focus of Copenhagen Mittens is texture. The cable panel travels across the hand while the ribbed cuff keeps the fit secure and comfortable. The look is clean and timeless, designed to work equally well in classic solids or tonal yarns. They’re the kind of mittens that feel practical but still special, a simple accessory elevated by good yarn and a satisfying cable pattern. --- ### **Pattern Highlights** - Clean, classic cable texture - Comfortable ribbed cuff and thumb gusset fit - Warm but lightweight DK fabric - A satisfying quick project or gift knit --- ### **Construction Overview** Copenhagen Mittens are knit in the round from cuff to fingertips. The ribbed cuff is worked first, followed by the cable pattern across the hand. A thumb gusset is shaped for comfort and fit, and the thumb stitches are completed after the hand. The mitten is finished with Kitchener stitch for a smooth closure. --- ### **Yarn Notes** Our sample uses Midknit Cravings Comfort Sport/DK (85% superwash merino / 15% nylon, 100g skeins). It’s soft, durable, and has clear stitch definition that shows the cables well. You can substitute any sport or DK weight yarn you like. Tonals especially highlight the cable texture, but solids work beautifully too. --- ### **Needles & Gauge** US 3 (3.25mm) DPNs or magic loop US 5 (3.75mm) DPNs or magic loop A cable needle may be used, and a video tutorial is included showing how to work cables without one. --- ### **Yardage Requirements** Midknit Cravings Comfort DK — 246 yds (225 m) per 100g skein 170 (200, 240) yards 155 (185, 220) meters --- ### **Finished Measurements** Teen / Adult Small (Adult Medium, Adult Large) **Wrist circumference — stretchy** 4.5 (4.75, 5)" 11.5 (12, 12.75) cm **Circumference around fingers** 7 (8, 9)" 17.5 (20, 23) cm **Length (not including cuff)** 7.5 (8.25, 9)" 19 (21, 23) cm --- ### **Let’s Knit Together** Video tutorials are included, and our Discord community is always open if you'd like help or want to share your progress.
