Crochet this new “twist” on the classic marble fidget!

This quick and simple crochet project creates a gentle spiral tube that encases a 1/2-inch marble, giving it a fun, twirling motion that’s surprisingly relaxing and a little mesmerizing. It’s a small project that is perfect for busy hands, silent fidgeting, or using up leftover yarn.

They’re easy to throw into a pocket or backpack, making them great for school, travel, stocking stuffers, or a little handmade surprise.

This pattern includes instructions for both a short and long version so you can customize the size to your preference.
