Knitting is impossible without some auxiliary tools that allow you to create a product and make the work easier.

Tool	For what
yarn	for knitting fabric
spokes	for weaving yarn threads into patterns and forming fabric
sewing needle	for connecting parts of a product during assembly
scissors	for cutting yarn threads
plastic markers	to mark the middle and other necessary parts of the product when knitting
fabric tape measure	to measure head circumference and take other measurements necessary for work

Experts recommend that you carefully select the yarn so that the product is wearable, attractive and seasonal. It should be taken into account that light accessories are best made from simple thin threads, and warm ones from woolen types of material.

For winter types of dressings use:

alpaca;
angora;
cashmere;
merino;
mohair.

Threads made from the wool of mountain llamas Alpaca retain heat well, are practically not dirty and allow the body to breathe. This yarn is one of the most popular for knitting headbands, for wearing in cold weather.

In addition, the wool of South American llamas does not cause allergic reactions even on sensitive areas of the skin and does not prick the surface. 100% alpaca thread is very expensive, so it is usually diluted with other components.

Angora yarn, or "angroku" as it is popularly called, is made from the fluff of the Chinese rabbit breed of the same name. This thread is light, warms well and creates volume.

The only drawback of angora is that its pile quickly falls out when the item is actively worn, leaving just a warm but smooth surface of the fabric. 100% angora is also rare because it is expensive and can most often be found in the composition of other fibers.

Cashmere is considered an elite material for its softness, lightness, tenderness and subtle noble shine. Such yarn is made from the wool of a special breed of goats. Cashmere products are warm, light and beautiful, and the only drawback is the rapid rolling of the surface layer of the pile with frequent wear.

Merino is also the name for the material from the sheep from which this type of yarn is collected. Fine-wool animals live in Australia, and the thread from such material is very warm, airy and breathable. The wool of such sheep allows you to retain heat by holding air, and not by tightly fitting to the body. The thinner the merino hair, the warmer the product will be.

Mohair yarn is made from the wool of Turkish goats living in the mountainous areas of the province of Angora. The yarn is distinguished by its elasticity, shine and durability. Products made from this yarn practically do not wear out and, with proper care, can serve more than one generation, being passed down from grandmother to granddaughter or from mother to daughter.

To create decorative head accessories in the form of a headband, the following are suitable:

viscose;
flax;
cotton.

Viscose is also called "artificial silk". This thread is made from recycled cellulose. Items made from this yarn are soft and pleasant to the touch. It absorbs moisture well and easily interacts with dyes, acquiring the necessary colors.

Flax thread is made from the fibers of the stems of the plant of the same name. The unique properties of the yarn are that it allows air to pass through well and is a natural antiseptic. In a linen bandage, your head will not get sweaty in the heat, and your skin will not become irritated from sweat. Also, linen products are long-lasting.

Cotton thread is made from ripe fruits of the plant of the same name. The yarn is environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic. Products made from it allow the body to feel comfortable even at very high temperatures.

To choose the right yarn for your future headband, experts recommend:

Crumple the skein in your hands.
Smell the yarn.
Apply the skein to your face.
Read the composition.
Rub the end of the thread between your fingers.
Pull the free thread gently to the sides.

When choosing yarn for a product, it is recommended to understand how it feels to the touch. To do this, you need to hold the skein in your hands and lightly squeeze it in your palms. This will help determine whether the material is prickly.

Before buying, you need to smell the skein you like. This is done to determine the naturalness of the fibers. If the skein has a barely perceptible chemical smell, then it is better not to take it.

When choosing wool for a bandage, some experts advise applying it to an open area of the face. The test will help you understand how the skin will behave when in contact with the selected material. If there is discomfort, irritation or slight itching at the point of contact, then the material is not suitable for the bandage.

Before buying, you should also read the composition of the threads indicated on the packaging. In addition, the manufacturer describes the density of the thread, its weight and what diameter of knitting needles or crochet hook you can work with it.

Rubbing the end of the thread between your thumb and forefinger can determine whether the material accumulates static electricity. The test will also show how quickly the yarn will lose its shape with frequent wear: the easier and faster the fibers fray, the less practical the material will be.

To understand how much the yarn stretches and how well its threads are twisted, you need to gently pull the free end of the skein with both hands to the sides. For a headband, it is important that the material stretches well and springs back.

After choosing the yarn, you can start selecting knitting needles, which can be separate or circular. The first ones are two separate metal, plastic or wooden tips of the same thickness, while the second ones are connected by the back ends with a fishing line. Separate knitting needles are more often used in needlework than circular ones. At the same time, the product knitted on the latter does not need to be sewn, since it turns out to be one piece.

To correctly select the diameter of the improvised tools in relation to the threads, you need to make a hole in a sheet of paper with a knitting needle and pull the thread through it. If it passes freely, does not clog or sag, then the knitting needles are selected correctly.

Schemes with description of works for beginners

A knitted headband with an overlap will suit any fashionista, the main thing is to choose the right width of the product. For example, those with a square face shape should opt for an asymmetrical product, and those with a triangular face should choose a headband that completely covers the ears and forehead.

For round-faced women, designers recommend models that create volume. Women with an oval face will suit any head accessory.

Historians have established that in ancient Rus', only unmarried girls wore headbands. At the same time, the everyday or festive accessory had to completely cover the forehead, and it was tied at the back under the hair. Married women were forbidden to wear such a headdress, since they had to completely hide their head and hair under a kerchief or other headdress.

In the modern world, headbands of various models are worn by both show business representatives and ordinary citizens. This head accessory can be either double and very warm, or single, made with different types of knitting and decorated with brooches, buttons or other decor.
