If you’re anything like me, you probably have charging cords taking over your desk.
A crochet cord tie is one of the easiest small projects you can make in one sitting.

A crochet mug cozy helps keep your coffee warm longer and makes the mug easier to hold.
Begin by measuring around your mug and chaining that length to get the right fit.

Choose a yarn color that matches your workspace vibe, and you’ll have a soft, textured accent that looks cute on your desk and gives your hands something relaxing to do.
