Easy Knit Swipers Pattern

During Covid Season (this year) and during Ant Season (every year), we find ourselves wiping down the countertops A LOT.

I don't want to waste money and materials on bleach wipes or paper towels where I really don't have to.  I'll still use those things when necessary, but I'd rather use something a bit more sustainable if I can help it.  And y'all remember earlier this year when bleach wipes couldn't be found anywhere?  Yikes.

I've been making these little swipers for several years and I find them to be immensely helpful around the house.  They are perfect if I just need to clean a small area of the countertop and then just throw in the laundry with the rest of the towels.  They are perfect to handwash a sinkful of dishes and then just throw in the laundry with the rest of the towels.

I can use up scraps of kitchen cotton to make them and they look so colorfully cute!  I especially like using variegated yarns.  Included here are 3 sizes for all your needs!

What you'll need:

2 Balls of kitchen cotton yarn (or just use any scraps you have leftover)
Size 7-9 straight knitting needles
Scissors
Darning Needle

Cast on 16 (20, 25) stitches holding two strands together.

Knit 30 (38, 48) rows.

Cast off.  Cut yarn.  Weave in ends.  Swipe away and enjoy the cleanliness of your home!
