Crochet Swiffer Cover
written by marieann
I love my Swiffer. But I hate throwing away the little rags. Especially when you’re floor is dirty and you need to use two for a single cleaning of your kitchen floor. I saw this link on craftster and was I so happy there was a solution. I don’t knit and I wanted an easier version so I whipped this up. I was using little leftover yarn balls so that’s why it’s funny colored. I am shocked how much it works. It picks up hairs and dirt and pushes the large dust bunnies like a broom. I made this watching an episode of Joey. So each!
Materials:
Yarn remnant(s)
Safety pin
Tools:
Large crochet needle
Instructions:
1. Chain a bunch so that you’re along as long as the swiffer head.
2. Double crochet a couple of rows.
3. Drop some stitches so that you have little envelopes on the corners to tuck around the swiffer head.
4. Double crochet a bunch more rows.
5. Add some stitches at the end again to make little envelopes on the corners.
6. Make a long braid of three pieces of yarn.
7. Tuck the corners around the swiffer head. Tie the braid to one back side of the swiffer rag and wrap it around. Safety pin it so that you can remove it to wash it.
Awesome idea! And why shouldn’t household chores be fun and colourful!
love it! thanks for the great idea!
That’s great! I hate using anything disposable, too, so I just use an old dishtowel, but it doesn’t work as well as the disposable cloths. I’ll have to make one of these and try it out!
