The Libman freedom extra wide crochet mop pad…

Finally back to writting patterns And I needed a new mop pad asap for my spray mop. I was not about to run out and buy a $10 pad when I had a cone of cotton yarn here. So here is the pattern super easy to make and a hell of a lot cheaper than the pads they sell for the mop. Not to mention they work so much better.

PS… The pics I post of the finished pattern are after I used it. I was so happy to have my crochet pads back that I forgot to take a picture and just started mopping. And also keep in mind I mopped the floor this morning with the pad that comes with the mop.

Ok enough of my chatter on with the pattern!!!

What you will need.

Cotton yarn (I used peaches cream I got from wally world)

4mm hook

snippers to cut

Chain 53

Row 1. Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and ever chain to the end. (I go in the back hump of the chain for a neater look.) Turn

Row 2. Chain 2 and Double crochet into the first stitch the chain 2 does not count as a stitch. I did not want the chains for stitches it just raises up the row for doule crochet. Double crochet in every stitch to the end. Chain 1 and turn.

repeat rows one and 2 still you have 14 rows. I ended on a double crochet row. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Now what I did was slap the pad on the mop and attached the yarn on the 7th stitch on one of the sides. I crochet 16 tight chains and slip stitched the chain to the other side in the 7th stitch. Repeat for the other side. and you now have a mop pad that you can reuse until there is nothing left of it. And wash it as many times as you see fit.

happy hookin!!!

Anyways… today is Wing it Wednesday and I want to make this another long term project that I will do once a week. And one project I have wanted to do for many moons was a hexi blanket. Yes that is right another blanket. Can you tell it is chilly where I live?

Hexagon pattern

Thank you to the creator of this pattern for sharing it so we all can make one. This week I am doing all solid colors and I think the first color will be yellow. Not my favorite color Just the sun is setting as I type this and yellow just seemed like the right color to use.

So here are my first 7 hexagon motifs. Hop over to my facebook page and share yours with me. We can make this a weekly stitch along!
