Materials Needed

• Yarn: 100% cotton worsted weight yarn
• Crochet Hook: H/8 (5mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 single crochets (sc) and 16 rows = 4 inches
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 40. This will form the base of your Swiffer pad.
2. Row 1: Starting in the second chain from the hook, single crochet (sc) in each chain across. You should have a total of 39 single crochets. Chain 1 and turn your work.
3. Row 2: *Single crochet in the next stitch, then double crochet (dc) in the next stitch; repeat from * across the row. This creates the textured pattern. After finishing the row, chain 1 and turn your work.
4. Row 3: Single crochet in each stitch across. Chain 1 and turn your work.
5. Repeat Rows: Continue to repeat Rows 2 and 3 until your piece measures approximately 11 inches in length. Make sure to measure from the starting edge to ensure accuracy.
6. Finishing Off: Once your piece reaches the desired length, finish off by cutting the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it.
7. Weaving in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your work. This will give your Swiffer pad a neat finish.
8. Creating the Pocket: To create the pocket for the Swiffer, fold each short end of the crocheted piece towards the center by 2 inches. This will form a pocket for the Swiffer handle.
9. Sewing the Edges: Using a whip stitch, sew the edges of the folded ends together to secure the pocket. Make sure to keep your stitches tight to ensure durability.
