Head Circumference Measurements

These are average head circumference sizes. It is always best to get the actual measurements of the person you are making this headband for.

Preemie: 12″- 13″
New Born: 13″- 14″
3 to 6 Months: 14″ – 15″
6 to 12 Months: 15.5″ – 16.5″

Child – 3 to 10 years: 19″ – 21″
Teen/Sm Adult: 21″

I’m making this headband for myself. My head measures 22″ so I worked rows until the head band was about 19″ long. Once you have reached the required length, fasten off and leave long tail for sewing.
