Swiffer Sweeper Cover

You don't know how excited I was when I found this Craft pattern on pinterest! I have a swiffer, but haven't used it in years because I hated buying the pads all of the time. This is so wonderful! When you're done, just throw it in the wash and it's good for a new round!


I put this on my Swiffer Wet Jet! I was so excited when it actually fit and worked! The loopy side is to grab all of the dust, or dog hair in my situation. The flat side is for the wet mopping part.


Swiffer Sock Pattern

To Start: With Color A, ch 33.
Row 1: dc in 4th ch from hook (skipped 3 ch counts as dc) and each ch across, turn {31}
Row 2: With Color B, (ch 4, sl st in front loop of next st) across, turn {30 loops}
Row 3: Working in front loop, ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc in next st and each st across, turn {31}
Rows 4–15: Repeat rows 2 and 3, changing colors after every 2 rows (if desired), turn (Compare the sock to your sweeper and repeat these rows as necessary if you’d like to make your rectangle taller.)

From here on, work progresses in the round. Do not turn the work at the end of each round.
Round 1: With A, ch 1, evenly sc around the edge of the rectangle, working 1 sc into top or bottom of each dc and 2 sc into sides of sts, and working 2 sc in each corner st, join with a sl st in first sc {~98}
Round 2: Ch 1, sc in each sc around, join with a sl st in first sc.
Round 3: Ch 1, ((sc in next 7 sc, sc2tog) twice, sc in each sc until 2 sts before corner, (sc2tog) 12 times or as many times as necessary to work up short side until 2 you are 2 sts past short side of rectangle) repeat once more to complete the round, join with a sl st in first sc. {~68}
Round 4: Ch 1, ((sc in next 6 sc, sc2tog) twice, sc in each sc until 2 sts before corner, (sc2tog) six times or as many times as necessary to work up short side until 2 you are 2 sts past short side) repeat once more to complete the round, join with a sl st in first sc {~50}.
Round 5: Ch 1, sc in each sc around, join with a sl st in first sc {50}.
Fasten off and weave in the ends
