It is a great way to give a personal gift to someone (and cheap!).
My coworker's theme for her nursery was lavender so I picked up some lavender yarn at JoAnn Fabric. The yarn I chose was size 3 weight since baby knit patterns often call for smaller yarn.
I adapted this pattern for a baby off of the pattern I previously listed for an adult headband. Since most of the headbands call for chunky or super bulky yarn, I held the yarn doubled for this pattern.
1. Start by holding yarn doubled (size 3 doubled)
2. I used size 10 or 10.5 knitting needles. I like to knit on circular needles no matter how small the pattern is :)
3. Cast on 10 stitches
4. Work in seed stitch for 14 inches... I got 14 inches based off the average circumference of a newborn's head, which is 14! You can adjust the pattern based on size accordingly for older children or adults.
5. Bind off and seam the 2 ends together using a tapestry needle.6. Create the knot by winding the yarn around the seam until the knot is the desired width.

Here is her adorable baby girl!!!!! She is about 1 month old in this picture! I also knitted up the baby turban too! Now that I know the pattern I created will fit a newborn, I will be posting it on the blog soon! :)
Happy Knitting!! Xoxo
