A Triptych of Swiffer Covers

I came up with three different Swiffer cover patterns. The first one I knit up on the fly, but the other two I thought a bit more about how I wanted it to look.

Pattern #1.

Note: This will shrink a bit after machine washing and drying. However, it still stretches to fit over the Swiffer head. Mine scrub quite well, and are great for absorbing spills.
