❄️ A cozy little rug for your cocoa

You know I can’t get enough holiday home decor, or my little hamster buddy, Marlow. These mug rugs are meant for warm drinks, but I could totally see one as a rug in Marlow’s little house. He does seem to like the festive colors.

This is the knit version, worked in bulky yarn for a quick, cozy project with a fringe finish. Make a set for your coffee table or tuck one in with a holiday gift.

✨ What makes it work

• Festive colorwork. Three holiday colors.
• Tiny yardage. About 30 yds, perfect for scraps.
