Purly Lace Swiffer Cloth

Using worsted weight cotton yarn and 4.5mm needles, cast on 70 stitches.

NOTE:  Use stitch markers to mark last 20 stitches on each end.  These are the sides of the swiffer cloth and will be sewn in when you’ve finished knitting the cloth.

Row 1 and all odd rows: k13, p1, k6, yo p2tog to last 20sts(15times), k6, p1, k13.

Row 2 and all even rows (right-side): p13, k7, p2tog yo to last 20sts(15times), k7, p13.

Knit until work measures 10cm (4 inches).

Cast off.

You’ll now notice how useful all those purl’s were.  You should have a nice line to show you where to sew the side pockets of your brand spankling new swiffer cloth.  Sew the pocket seams, sew in the yarn ends and WOOHOO there you go!
