You can easily determine this parameter if you weigh the gauze. For example, take gauze that is 0.9 m wide and 5 m long. The gauze should weigh more than 160 g.

The presence of synthetics can be easily determined - just hold the cotton wool up to a UV lamp. “Pure” cotton wool will not glow under UV light.

Knitting patterns
Now let's move on to creating stylish knitted headbands that will be on trend in 2020. Let's start with the simplest schemes and gradually move on to more complex and interesting options.
Elastic band with overlap
This headband looks like a turban, which is trendy this year. Despite the simplicity of the knitting, the result is a rather spectacular bandage with an overlap in the center.
It is recommended to knit such a bandage with an elastic band - alternating the front and back loops. The proportions can be anything: 1×1, 2×2, 3×2 and others, it all depends on individual wishes. Our photos show examples connected using a 2×2 pattern. The final length of the bandage is designed for girls 6-8 years old.

Step-by-step instruction:
- Suitable yarn for this work is half wool and half acrylic, density 116m/100g, knitting needles number 4.
- We cast on 24 loops and knit with an elastic band, according to the given diagram, a segment 22 cm long.
- Afterwards the overlap is made - we divide the work into two equal parts of twelve loops each. Next we knit each of them separately, approximately 6 cm long.
- We put the loops together again and knit another 22 cm according to the same pattern.
- After the product is ready, we sew the ends together. This is best done on open loops using a special knitted seam.
Bow
The headband turns out to be very impressive if you decorate it with a bow. Despite the originality of this product, it is very simple to make. All you need is to choose your favorite threads and comfortable knitting needles. The needlewoman needs to master the technique of casting on loops and knitting with facial loops. The diagrams with descriptions given below will help you get a stylish new thing in just a couple of hours.
- We cast on 25 loops and knit 130-140 rows with facial loops (see the figure below for how to make facial loops).
- After the strip is ready, we begin to create the bow. To do this, we cast on 20 loops and knit 25 rows in the same way. We close the edges and assemble the product.
Volumetric braid
The most common among fashionistas are knitted headbands, decorated with a voluminous braid. Creating such beauty with knitting needles is quite simple. All that is needed:
- Threads you like, for example, YarnArt merinode luxe/50, knitting needles number 4.5.
- We cast on seven loops and knit with a 1×1 elastic band: 1 edge, 1 knit, *1 purl, 1 knit* - to the end of the row, 1 edge.
- Next, we make three loops in stocking stitch at the beginning and end of the row. We knit the middle of the row, adding two loops in the front row until we get 25 loops.
- We knit a braid: 1 edge loop, 3 stocking stitch, 2 purl stitches, a braid of 13 loops, 2 purl stitches, 3 stocking stitch, 1 edge stitch.
After the bandage reaches the required length, decrease two loops in each front row; after seven loops remain, sew on a button.

Needlewomen are able to come up with all kinds of headband options. We offer another interesting option with a “wide braid” pattern. This bandage should be knitted in the same way as the above option with a braid. Feel free to experiment, because the result is worth it!

Headbands are a fashion accessory today. But vigilant mothers do not miss the opportunity to dress up their baby not only for beauty, but also to protect her ears from the wind.
Are you interested in how to sew a headband for a girl with your own hands? This master class, prepared by our reader, details a simple way to make a children's accessory from an old T-shirt - a great opportunity to clear out your closet. If you don’t have unnecessary clothes, feel free to use knitwear. The thicker the fabric, the warmer the product will be. For summer it is better to choose thin materials.
First you need to measure the circumference of the child's head and cut out two identical rectangles from fabric. The length of each rectangle should be 10 cm longer than the measured circumference of the child's head. If you want a smaller bow, then the length of the rectangle must also be shortened. This example shows how to sew a headband for a nine-month-old girl with a head circumference of 44 cm. Therefore, the length of the cut fabric was 54 cm and the width was 10 cm.
Alternatively, you can use an old adult T-shirt if it fits correctly.
In this case, it was enough to simply cut a strip of fabric 10 cm wide.
The sides were already sewn together, the length was just right. The result is a “collar” like this.
Using a machine, it is enough to stitch the long sides of the rectangles, folding them with the wrong sides facing each other. (If the rectangles are not cut from a T-shirt, but simply from fabric, then you will have to stitch all 4 sides yourself).
Then turn it right side out through the small hole previously left. This hole can later be sewn up by hand. Now you need to straighten all the corners and iron the finished rectangle.
After this, the ironed rectangle needs to be folded in half and the semicircle of the child’s head is measured from the fold. In this case it is 22 cm (since the total circumference is 44 cm).
At this point you just need to stitch a rectangle folded in half.
To sew a headband with your own hands, you don’t even have to match the threads to the same color, since all the seams are hidden inside. As a result of this seam, a “fish with a tail” is obtained from a rectangle (this is a top view)
This “fishtail” must be laid out on different sides, and it will subsequently become a bow. All that remains is to make a jumper for it. You can choose any decorative one with rhinestones to suit your taste. Or you can simply cut out a small rectangle from the same fabric and fold it in half with the wrong sides facing each other.
In the same way as the main large rectangle, stitch and turn it right side out. Use this jumper to gather the “fish tail” at the seam and fix it in this position.
Starting from birth, today's mothers of little princesses begin to create different hairstyles for them, attach hairpins and elastic bands, and put on beautiful headbands. However, this option is not always comfortable and can interfere with the baby. In this case, an excellent DIY headband can be a replacement. Many options for various children's headbands can be worn not only by little girls, but also by adult girls and women.
Not every small child can attach a bow to their first thin hairs, but if for a photo shoot, or just “going out” you want the baby to have a beautiful bow or flower on her head, a beautiful headband will help out. Soft and comfortable can be made even for newborns.
To create children's headbands you will need the following materials:
- Main material: any ribbon or elastic band of the desired color, you can choose a ready-made bandage.
- Material for creating a decorative flower.
- Needle, thread, special glue (if you have a special machine, you can start working with it).
Having decided on the main materials of our headband, we need to measure the head circumference, and then, based on this information, cut off the required length.
Then you need to connect the ends of the base together using a machine or by hand and decorate the ribbon with a decorative flower. It can be sewn or glued with special glue for rubber.
Let's look at a master class on how to create a children's headband with your own hands - this is a headband with felt roses.
To work we will need:
- Felt with a thickness of 0.1 mm in calm shades.
- Headband.
- Wooden stick.
- Sharp scissors, glue.
Why is it recommended to moisten cotton gauze dressings with water?
- Why is it necessary to moisten cotton-gauze dressings with water? This is because in this state it more reliably protects the human respiratory system from dust, smoke, and gases.
- It is enough to wet the product in plain water.
For bacterial protection against viruses, the bandage must be dry.
