Washable Duster

[darkcedars]

Pattern: ultimately the best ideas from  Weekly Wash  Scrubby Duster  

Started: 19 Jan 2024

Completed: 21Jan 2024

Hook: K - 6.50mm

Yarn: base - scraps of worsted weight acrylic 
         dust catcher - Mainstays Chenille Heathered Yarn (bulky size 6)

Size: fits Swiffer handle 

Notes:

1. chain 35
2. six rows of SC and test if when folded lengthwise, will fit over the 2 prongs of the handle.  If it does, slip stitch down the length to create a tube. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing later.  Should fit as follows:

  

 

   3. Mark the row that is on the outside edge of the tube.  Remove the tube from the duster.  Attach bulky chenille yarn at one end, doing a slip stitch with pulled up loops down the length (surface crochet, did every other stitch most of the time).  At the end, turn and do another line of slip stitch loops.  Turn again, this time working slip stitch loops through the two previous slip stitch rows. 

    

4. Put the duster back on the handle as before.  Tug  and tweak so the loops are fluffed out around the handle. Use the yarn tail on the worsted weight yarn to sew up the back foundation rows to stabilize.
