How to Make a Duster Cover for Easy Cleaning

Introduction

Cleaning can be a chore, but it doesn't have to be expensive. In this article, we will show you how to make a reusable duster cover that is both practical and cost-effective. Using basic crochet techniques, you can create a duster cover that can be tossed in the washing machine for easy maintenance. Let's get started!

Supplies Needed for the Duster Cover

Before we begin, gather the following supplies:

• 5 mm crochet hook
• Lilly Sugar'N Cream yarn
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle

Step 1: Making the Side Pieces

To start, we will create the side pieces of the duster cover. Follow these steps:

3.1 Chaining the Side Pieces Begin by chaining 12 stitches for each side piece. If you're making the main piece, chain 37 stitches instead.

3.2 Single Crocheting the Side Pieces Single crochet in the back hump of the second chain from the hook, and continue single crocheting in the back hump of each chain until you reach the end.

3.3 Repeating the Rows for the Side Pieces Turn your work and single crochet in the back loop only for each row. Repeat this process until your side pieces measure approximately 4 inches in height.

Step 2: Making the Main Piece

Next, we'll create the main piece of the duster cover. Follow these steps:

4.1 Chaining the Main Piece Chain 37 stitches for the main piece.

4.2 Single Crocheting the Main Piece Single crochet in the back loop only for each row until the main piece measures 4 inches in height.

4.3 Repeating the Rows for the Main Piece Continue single crocheting in the same manner as the side pieces, ensuring the main piece matches the height of the side pieces.

Step 3: Joining the Panels

Now it's time to join the side and main panels of the duster cover. Follow these steps:

Lay the panels together and single crochet around the entire piece, matching the stitches together. At the corners, place three single crochets to allow for a smooth turn.

Step 4: Single Crocheting Around the Duster Cover

Single crochet around the edges of the duster cover, making sure to work into at least two strands for added durability and stability.

Step 5: Weaving in the Loose Ends

To finish the duster cover, weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. By securing the loose ends, your duster cover will be ready for use.

Congratulations! You have successfully created your own reusable duster cover. With this practical and cost-effective cleaning tool, you can easily maintain a clean home without breaking the bank. Enjoy your dusting ahead and happy cleaning!
