Buttoned Wet Jet Cloth (Reuseable)

2008-07-14T14:39:00.000-07:00

I designed a new swiffer wet jet cozy tonight.

Here are a few photos of it:

I love this pattern! It really works great for the wet jet.

For the regular Swiffer, I now use cloth diapers. They have a static effect & pic up hair like you wouldn't believe!! If you haven't tried it yet, I would strongly suggest the cloth diapers cut to fit.

Swiffer Cover

2008-06-09T14:34:00.000-07:00

Small amount of worsted weight cotton kitchen yarn
Size I hook

Chain 43.

Row 1: Single crochet in second chain from hook and each chain across. Chain 1, turn. 42 SC.

Row 2: HDC in Back Loop of each SC across. Chain 1, turn. 42 HDC.

Row 3: HDC through both loops of each HDC across. Chain 1, turn. 42 HDC.

Rows 4-11: Repeat rows 2 & 3.

Row 12: SC in Back Loop of each HDC across.

To assemble:

Fold edges over & Whip stitch 3 sc together on each side. This will hold the cloth on your Swiffer broom.

Measure and make sure this makes the cloth the size you need, if you crochet tighter or looser than I do you may need to adjust the size.
