They’re in baby boutiques everywhere: the stretchy baby headbands with a large flower. Why spend $10-20 on one when you can whip one up yourself with this quick and easy pattern?

The Linen Stitch Headband is worked sideways, which adds several inches of stretch to the band. This means this headband will fit your baby snugly without slipping off. Whether your little girl is squirming during newborn pictures or your toddler is running across the playground, this headband will stay put and look adorable.

The flower is worked in the round in two layers, and the addition of a third color makes it a gorgeous accent piece to the headband.
