Crocheted Broom Handle Duster

I don't know about your house, but here it is spider season. The little devils are leaving their cobwebs around all over the place. I have an aversion to step stools, okay just call me Grace, so I whipped up this little goodie to reach all those pesky webs without my tooties ever leaving the security of the floor.

  • US H crochet hook
  • tapestry needle

Instructions:

Tube:

Rnd 1: Starting at top, ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook (6 sc)

Rnd 2: 2 sc in blo of each stitch around (12sc)

Rnds 3-5: Sc in blo of each stitch around (12sc)

Note 2: At this point try it on a broom handle. It should fit fairly snug. If it fits too loose, switch to a smaller hook for the remainder of the tube.

Break off and weave in end.

Well yes, simple for those that crochet. But these instructions look like another language to me. Anyone willing to make me one at a fair price?
