Having wood floors opened my eyes to how fast dust and hair can appear everywhere!! Buying box after box of dry and wet sheets for my Swiffer has been very expensive and yet I would still end up on my hands and knees hand washing the floors. Shortly after crocheting this YARNTASTIC cover for my Swiffer I had to try it out. I am amazed and in love! It not only does a fantastic job with dust and hair but it also gets all of the little things the sheets leave behind. This Cover is machine washable, reversible, and reusable! Can it get much better than that??
Abbreviations:
CH – Chain
DC – Double Crochet

Get Started!
CH 23
Row 1: CH 2, DC in third CH from hook, DC down the rest of the chain
Rows 2-41: Turn, CH2, *FPDC in the first stitch, BPDC in the next stitch*
repeat from * across, DC in last stitch

Wah-Lah!

I love this idea. I think I am going to have to try to make this. Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome!!
This makes me wish I had not thrown out my Swiffer!

This might be a good reason to get a new one. lol
This is great! I have a large hairy dog that I sweep up after constantly. I go through so many swiffer sheets and I was about to go back to the old school broom to save money, then I came across this! LOVE it! Thank you
I have a hairy dog too and with these wood floors it is so hard to keep up with his hair. My only problem is that I have only made one of these.. I need to make more but its always so hard to choose what to crochet next. lol
I have a Newfoundland…definitely gonna make a few of these!
BTW – it’s voila, not wah-lah (pronounced vwalah)
Lol. I like Wah-Lah better. Both of my kids say it that way
Ditto
Wah-Lah!!
Do you think this will fit and work with a swiffer wet jet also?
I do not have a wet jet to test it on to know for sure. If you find out, let me know! <3
Could you clarify the pattern? You start Ch 23, then Row 1 you say to Ch 2 and dbl crochet in the 3rd chain. So is it Ch 25 and dbl crochet in the 3rd chain or is the Ch 2 an error. How many stitches are in each row of dbl crochet? Thanks!
If it says to CH 2, then CH 2. I have not worked this pattern in almost a year so I am not sure. Next time I work it I will write out everything a little better. Sorry for the confusion.
