Cool! I'll have to try this. I knitted one cover for my Swiffer, but when it gets wet, it's too stretchy and it slides off. This pattern looks like it would work wet or dry.
Awesome! I love the fuzziness.
I knit one from the MD book - but it was checked out from the library so it too was a free pattern.
