Options And Choices When Knit Headbands

By Christina Workman


Lots of patterns can be found with detailed instructions to knit headbands including instructions to make headbands in the latest fashions. Patterns, videos and tutorials are all readily available online. In addition to these, a wide range of knitting patterns can be purchased at wool or craft stores.

The number of rows to be knitted will depend on the size of the person's head who will be wearing it. The width of the headband is really just a matter of personal choice. Anyone who can knit the basic stitches should be able to knit a headband.

in order to make a headband comfortable to wear, it may be useful to sew a piece of elastic between the ends of the band. This will let the band stretch more easily. It is also advisable to knit the headband with all knit rows rather than using knit and purl rows. The reason for this is because knit rows give the band more stretch so that even sifter a few hours of wear the band will remain comfortable.

The average size required for an adult is a length of approximately fifteen inches. A headband for a child should be approximately 13 inches in length. This length should include any elastic or other material which may be inserted between the ends.

Bands can be knitted in all sorts of wools and widths. Probably the smallest are those that can be made by knitting with just three stitches, whilst joining the first and last stitches to create a tube. More than one tube can be worn together. The tubes are very attractive when different colours are worn. Mixing and matching the colours to match with or to contrast with each outfit is fun to do.

Ears can be kept warm by knitting a wider band of approximately 2.5 inches width. These are useful to wear when it is cold and icy. Some lovely headbands are knitted in cashmere or angora wools making them very warm and soft to wear.

To complete a knitted headband accessories will add interest and make it unique. Flowers, feathers, beads or jewels may be attached to the band, or, a design or name could be embroidered to it. This is also a useful hint to update existing plain headbands which have been either hand-made or bought.

Headbands suitable for evening wear are available to be purchased, which may include strands of gold or silver or shiny jewels. Bands, for sale, may have multi-coloured zig-zag designs or pom-poms or almost any other design. Knit headbands are suitable for day to day wear or as a fashion statement. They are also useful to help on those bad hair days.
