Necessary measurements

Headbands for women are knitted with knitting needles, knowing only one measurement - the circumference of the head. To take the measurement correctly, you should apply a measuring tape just above the eyebrows (by 1.5 - 2 cm) and slightly above the upper edge of the ear. At the back, on the back of the head, the tape should go along the most protruding part of the head.

To make a headband, you will also need a measurement of the width of the future product. This size is selected individually, depending on the selected product and face type. In order not to make a mistake with the width of the knitted headdress, it is recommended to take measurements in advance, standing in front of a mirror.

An important aspect when choosing a bandage model is the shape of the face:

• For a triangular face, small models that cover the forehead are suitable, as well as headbands that cover the ears.
• For a square-shaped face, sporty models and asymmetrical headbands are suitable.
• For girls with a round face, voluminous styles are recommended.
• Owners of an oval face shape can choose any model.

Yarn, knitting needles, decor

The choice of yarn depends on the style of the product, the season of its use and its decorative purpose.

So, for warm winter headbands the following types of yarn are recommended:

• woolen (merino, angora, alpaca, cashmere);
• semi-wool (contains natural and synthetic fibers).

For summer, beach and decorative models:

• natural (cotton, silk, viscose, linen);
• synthetic (decorative threads);
• mixed (contains natural and synthetic fibers, which often give the thread elasticity).

In addition to differences in composition, yarn can be divided into smooth, bouclé and fleecy.

Based on individual preferences, when choosing yarn, pay attention to its softness and prickliness.

The choice of knitting tools depends on the thickness of the yarn. The optimal size of knitting needles or a crochet hook should be 1 mm larger than the diameter of the thread. So, for yarn with a thread thickness of 3 mm, knitting needles No. 4 are suitable. Metal knitting needles are suitable for knitting small woolen and synthetic products, and for viscose and silk, it is better to take wooden tools. When choosing a headdress decoration, the main point is the purpose of the headband.

All kinds of decor are suitable for summer models:

• knitted flowers;
  
• embroidery;
• fringe;
• brushes;
• rhinestones;
• beads;
• beads;
• bows and ribbons.

Decorations for warm hats:

• embroidery;
• volumetric knitting;
• beads, rhinestones;
• knitted elements;

Color selection

A headband is an addition to a wardrobe or image. Its color depends on the color scheme of the clothes and hair color. Thus, a headdress made in the same color scheme as the outerwear will look harmonious. To create an accent, you can choose a headband in a contrasting design.

Depending on your hair color, it is recommended to consider the following tips:

• Blondes can choose light and pastel shades of blue, pink, green. Owners of bright skin will suit black models.
• For brunettes, bright, flashy shades of pink, purple, and turquoise are suitable.
  
• Brunettes can wear hats in a brown-beige palette. Of the bright colors, it is better to give preference to blue and copper tones.
• Red hair tone goes perfectly with green, red, yellow, coffee and gold colors.

Popular patterns

Headbands for women, knitted with knitting needles, can be voluminous and smooth, wide and narrow, made in different styles and patterns. Considering the small size of the product, the knitting pattern is selected so that the pattern looks advantageous and attracts attention with the clarity of the lines. Complex patterns are lost on small products, so it is worth focusing on the quality and density of knitting.

At the same time, models made from thick semi-fluffy yarn, made with large voluminous loops, and a headband made from smooth threads with a textured pattern of dense knitting will look stylish.

For voluminous models, elastic, braided cords and braids are often chosen. For dense models, patterns with small repeating elements are suitable. Summer accessories are created using openwork knitting. Simple pattern patterns are used as a basis.

Turban

There are 2 options for knitting the “Turban” model.

The first, also called a turban or bow, looks like a simple crossing of two parallel canvases in the front part of the product. The second option is when a wide knitted strip is pulled across in the forehead area and decorated with a brooch or other bright decor. The winter version of the turban is knitted from warm yarn with a bulky knit. The oversized model, fashionable this season, is created not due to the size of the product, but due to the volume of the loops.

A simple way to knit a turban:

1. Cast on an odd number of stitches (for example, 13 stitches). The number of stitches depends on the width of the item.
2. Knit a piece of fabric with English elastic, the length of which is equal to half the circumference of the head.
3. Using an additional needle, transfer half of the stitches to the right and continue knitting until the length is equal to the head circumference.
4. Sew the short edges using a crochet hook or needle.

Braid pattern

An interesting version of a headband for women and girls, made in the form of intertwined knitted strands, reminiscent of a voluminous braid. Thick smooth yarn is used for this accessory. A voluminous braid can be knitted in the middle of the headband on a purl background or made as an independent element.

The braided model is easy to create by following the diagram:

1. Cast on stitches onto the knitting needles, the number of which can be divided by 3.
2. Knit 2 rows with stocking stitch.
3. Mentally divide the loops into 3 equal parts, leaving the first part on an additional knitting needle before knitting.
4. Knit the next third of the stitches, then the stitches from the additional needle in stockinette stitch.
5. Knit stitches for 3 braid strands.
6. Knit 5 rows and repeat the sequence of crossing the cords.
7. You need to knit a bandage of length and close the strip into a ring.

A simpler option is to knit 3 strips of the same length and braid them, securing the bends with stitches. With this design, the braid strands can be of different colors.

Summer openwork version

The fashion trend of the summer season is a narrow openwork strip decorated with tassels. To make it, you will need cotton or other natural thread in the selected color. It is better to knit this headband lengthwise, using a measurement slightly smaller than the head circumference. The ends of the product will end with laces decorated with tassels. Due to this, the size of the decorative strip can be adjusted.

Procedure:

1. Cast on the required number of stitches onto the knitting needles and knit a strip up to 3 cm wide using an openwork pattern.
2. Decorate the edges with a narrow decorative border using a crochet hook.
3. Tie the laces and secure them to the end sides of the bandage.
4. Make tassels from threads of the same color and sew them to the ends of the laces.
5. If desired, the strip can be decorated with beads. A thin satin ribbon can be inserted into the middle of the openwork strip.

Ears

A funny model in the form of an animal's muzzle with ears will appeal to little girls and schoolgirls - teenagers. Since the headband is knitted for young fashionistas, it is necessary to provide for its functionality in preserving heat. For this, the headband is made wide enough and soft semi-woolen threads are chosen. For knitting, use the front or back surface, or a dense pearl pattern.

Knitting order:

1. Cast on the required number of stitches onto the knitting needles, equal to the width of the bandage.
2. Using the chosen pattern, knit a strip of length equal to the circumference of the head.
3. Sew the bandage into a ring.
4. Make ears. They can be sewn from felt and fur or crocheted. They can be round or triangular. Sew the ears to the strip, leaving 1.5-2 cm from the top edge.

Leaves pattern

The original accessory will suit both women and young girls. It will perfectly protect from the cold and add individuality to the image, thanks to the beautiful pattern. Products with leaf ornaments can be openwork or knitted with a dense pattern.

Knitting uses a repeating motif that is knitted along the entire product. Any method of knitting leaves includes a pattern of uniform narrowing of the elements. Leaves can be arranged symmetrically or in a checkerboard pattern.

For knitting, you need to choose a pattern so that the width of the pattern fits into the dimensions of the bandage. The optimal pattern size is 2/3 of the total width of the strip. The remaining loops are divided equally along the edges; they will serve as a background for the pattern.

Leaf pattern options:

• "branch with leaves" pattern, where the leaves are arranged alternately on each side of the branch;
• The "openwork leaf" pattern has many holes and is used for lightweight items;
• Intertwined Leaves Pattern. In this pattern, the sharp ends of the leaves are not visible. The leaves overlap each other in a checkerboard pattern.
• The “voluminous leaves” pattern has a semi-openwork texture, with each leaf bordered by a space of holes.
