Crochet Me loop stitch tutorial by Chloe Nightingale
Measurements: SMALLER (older models) 3”/7.5cm wide, 9.5”/19cm long, LARGER (newer models) 4.5”/11.5cm wide, 10”/25.5cm long. Will fit on a Swiffer (tm) sweeper - but the sizes can vary, so check the measurements of the sweeper you are using and adjust pattern as needed to fit.
Gauge/Tension: in sc, 16 sts/16 rows = 4”/10cm. In loop stitch, 16 sts/10 rows = 4”/10cm

The hook size will seem large for the yarn, but the loop stitch can get very tight, making it harder to crochet and resulting in a firmer fabric than necessary. Crocheted flat in one piece, with single crochet flaps sewn down along the sides so that the dust mop can be slipped on and off the sweeper head. You may want to make the looped section longer to fit the sweeper you are using.
