You're welcome! I'm so happy to hear it worked well for you🙂
The other compliment I have is there's no music and most of all you're right down to business and sound verynice. No offense to anyone else but I don't really care about other people's life stories so I appreciate getting right down to it.

Thank you so much, Janet! I really appreciate it ☺️💕
My daughter has been bugging me to make a couple for her and after watching a ton of tutorials, I found your pattern to be the best as well as the tutorial. Now she will be happy, and my insomnia will be put to good use! Thanks for taking the time to make this tutorial and sharing the pattern! Oh, just a tip for those who may like it, when I do the base single crochtes on the first row,I do it in the hump on the back of the stitch, gives it a neater edge and is easier for beginners to see the stitch on the next row :)
Thank you for the pattern. I have made two of these in the past couple of days. I'm working on another one now. These make cleaning walls and ceilings much easier! And all the dog hair from the floors just stick to and around the bobbles.

No problem! I never thought about using them for the walls and ceilings - that’s an excellent idea!
If I could I would give this 10 thumbs up. After not crocheting for a few years I'm starting again. I'm definitely going to subscribe to your channel.

Thanks for the pattern. I will give these a try.
Absolutely love the bobble stitch for the mop, im making mine for a wet jet and saw some other tutorials for connecting it to the top so I’m making the bottom and just stitching some elastic to the edges to keep it secure! The bobble def is better than just a ribbed or flat surface and will make a much stronger connection when cleaning. Thank you for the tutorial! It’s also the only thing I’ve found to use up all my super stuff sugar and cream yarn with. It’s so scratchy it’s not worth making anything else with lol
This is so cute. Thanks for this tutorial. I'll be making a few of these.

I am trying to convert this pattern to fit my Swiffer Bissell Steam Mop. Is it possible to start the sides on the bottom portion? Then sew the other 2 sides closed?
Hello I am trying this stitch . Love it. But a question.. after you finish the set of bobble stitch. The next row what do you start with? Thank you.

It's single crochet for the entire row after each bobble row 😊
When washed are you able to dry them?? Does the cotton shrink?

Hi Hallie, they do shrink a little, but I found that they still fit around the Swiffer :)
How long should i make the chain for a swiffer 'XL?.(: I have both sizes. Just made this one and tried it for the first time. Its amazing. ❤ thank you

I’m so happy it worked well for you! I’ve never tried to make one for an XL Swiffer, so I can’t say for certain, but I’d recommend using the gauge swatch as a point of reference🙂 Gauge = 5 bobbles in a 10cm section. Since the standard Swiffer is around 30cm long, we made a pad 15 bobbles long. If for example, the XL Swiffer is 45cm long, you’d want to make a pad 22-23 bobbles long. I hope this helps☺️

Is it OK to use acrylic yarn instead of cotton?
@traceyifversen6109
Жыл бұрын
I just used a 40 percent cotton and 60 percent acrylic blend and it did not like the velcro put pulls in the yarn. So I'm definitely going to buy the 100 percent cotton for my next one.

Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that! Does your Swiffer have Velcro on it? I’m using the basic Swiffer sweeper that doesn’t have anything on the bottom.
Did u purposely match your nails to the yarn

Hm I can’t remember - This is my favorite color. I wear it a lot (nail polish & clothing), so most likely it was a nice coincidence (:
