ZigZag Swiffer Cloth

Using worsted weight cotton yarn (I used Anchor Magicline) and 4.5mm needles, cast on 70 stitches.

NOTE:  Use stitch markers to mark last 13 stitches on each end.  These are the sides of the swiffer cloth and will be sewn in when you’ve finished knitting the cloth.

You’ll now notice how useful all those p1’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!

Heading off to mop the floor with my new swiffer cloth! :D
