Even though I don’t wear headbands, I love seeing other people wear them. I wanted to make something that worked up quickly but with a bit of class to it. A bow seemed too much but a headband that looked like a bow seemed to be perfect.

As with so many of my patterns, you can use any yarn, just make sure you match the listed measurements.

Also, I don’t knit often but would think you could use a 4.00 mm knitting needle and cast on the same number of stitches called for in the base row, then knit each row or alternate knit and purl rows.

Finished sizes (approx):

0-3 mths - 1 3/8” x 14”
3-6 mths - 1 3/4” x 17”
6-12 mths - 1 3/4” x 19”
12 mths-3 yrs - 2 1/8” x 20”
3-10 yrs - 2 1/8” x 20.5”
Teen - 2.5” x 22”
Adult - 2.5” x 22.5”

Yarn: Can be made with any yarn that uses a G/6 (4 mm) or smaller hook. Just follow the measurements given.

Notions: Yarn Needle

Skill Level: Beginner

Different Stitches:

If using a stretchier yarn, check how much it stretches before joining the ends together on the headband. It shouldn’t stretch more then the final recommended measurement.
