Here are some of the pretty little headbands I made for Christmas gifts using the Knot Bow Headband Pattern. Adorbs!
The fabric I used above is organic knit from Spoonflower. I absolutely love Spoonflower, the trendness and variety of designs crazy. I mean, they are so spot on, on what is new and cool. If you don’t know about Spoonflower yet, it is a print on demand company where you can make your own designs or use another designer’s. There are lots of fabric types to choose from, and they even print wrapping paper! Watch out Christmas! A few details about the type knit fabric. It is Organic Cotton Interlock, and comes printed 56″. It is a little stiff when you first get it from the printing, but once washed softens right up.
If you haven’t sewn with knits before I recommend using a walking foot and some stretch thread in the bottom. Add a stretch stitch and easy as pie! You can check out the tribal knot headband and the strawberry knot headband I made last year to go with Ava’s outfits.

This is so cute! Thanks for sharing!
I can’t see to get the complete pattern to print. I tried a 12 x 12 sheet of paper and the 1 ” square is perfect size but the bottom of the headband is cut off. Any tips?
Did you print the graphic picture or the pdf that pops up when you click download pattern?
I clicked on the link and then tried to print from the PDF that opened up. I used the printer icon to print.
I’m having the same issue. Would love for this to work. Anyone know the solution?
I’m having the same problem printing the pattern- When printed at actual size from the PDF document it cuts off. If I print it to fit page the one inch square is off.
I can’t get it to print correctly either. Tried several different ways.
The pattern doesn’t seem to print correctly. Could you email it? I clicked on the download load to print it.
Thanks so much for sharing! Would love to make some of these but the pattern doesn’t print to a regular size sheet of paper. Suggestions? If you save it as a pdf and open it in adobe it is WAY larger than the paper and if you shrink to fit it’s not proper size. ?? Any help is greatly appreciated. 🙂 Thanks again!
This is so cute – thank you for sharing! Where do you get your fabric? It’s so perfect!
I can’t get the download to print properly. I saw someone else had this problem too. Any sugestions?
I am having trouble printing this to the correct size. Any tips?
Hi Rachel!
I apologize. The pattern was not set to print correctly but the problem is FIXED!!!! 🙂 Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and stop by!
The pattern is not downloading correctly, it doesn’t fit on the page. Could you please fix this for me??
Did you try actual size?
Thanks so much for this pattern! It’s perfect to teach a beginner. But, you say to stitch with wrong sides together and that just doesn’t make sense to me. No one else has mentioned it so I wonder if I’m not understanding something.
I did not understand WST either. Some clarification would be helpful.
You stitch the wro ng sides together so the seam is on the inside. You then flip it out the right way.
the right sides together and flip out. Sorry it was a typo! eek.
Heya I’m not too sure how to work out the measurements for this patter thanks
Is this pattern still available? There doesn’t seem to be a link attached to download. I am able to click on the photo and an image of the entire page pops up.
Thank you.
sorry the link somehow got changed. It is all fixed.
Is there away to contact you directly, I’m new to this and would like some help?
Hi!
These bands are very beautiful, congratulations and thanks for sharing the tutorial.
I clicked on the pink button to get the paper pattern in PDF inserting my email, but I did not receive anything. Kindly, how can I do to get the patterns with the actual measurements? Thank you
Try it again. It should take you right to the page. If my computer loads slow or stops loading sometimes it doesn’t go through.
Oh yes, I tried again and now it worked!
You are very kind, thank you again!
Nancy
Ok great! So glad it worked 🙂
Love these! What kind of fabric did you use?
Thanks! Organic knit from Spoonflower.
These are so cute, but i can’t see the pink buttom after giving my email,.. Am I doing something wrong?
I’m not sure why but it wasn’t showing up on mobile devices. It is fixed now. 🙂
Shelly,
Thanks I love the post and headbands. I downloaded the instructions but would like to have the svg file but when I click on the files it talks me to droplr and request I sign up for a free trial. Can I get the files without signing up for the site?
Thanks, Tonya
You do not need to sign up. Just click the x button and it will take you to the svg files.
How much fabric should I get? Would fat quarters work? Sorry new to sewing!
Do you just tie a regular knot?
Yes just a regular knot!
Hi Shelly this pattern is perfect! How can I make these for adults? Do I double the measurements?
I would measure your head, divide it in half and then add the knot bow piece of the pattern (the last 5 inches or so).
Thank you for this cute pattern, do you think it’s possible to do it in cotton fabric? I can maybe add an elastic or something else? I am doing a summer romper for a baby girls (due date coming july) and i want to have a matching headband.
Thanks for your help
Same question as Elise! I have some cotton fabric I was looking to use for this.
Thanks for this pattern. I use it and link your post on my blog 🙂

Hi, thanks for the pattern. However, I cannot print it in PDF, the link is for the knot bow romper and not the knot bow head band 🙂 Can you change it for the good one :)?
Thanks!
Hey There! 🙂 I also have trouble printing the pattern in accurate size 🙁 i’ve tried to print it out of pdf but it is still too big 🙁
Hi thank you for your tutorial just wondering what type of Stitching did you use for sewing headband.mine are always to tight and snap when stretched.
I thank you
I use stretch stitch which looks kind of like a lightening stitch.
I would love to see a tut on how to make placket instead of loop on back of top for McCall pattern. Thank you
Hi!
I don’t have access to a printer currently … could you let me know how many inches or cm long you made this headband? And how do you think the measurements would change depending on the baby’s age?
They’re so cute. Thanks!
hello shelly,
which pattern is for 4 + 5 month and for the 13-17 months? 18 month is it up to 2 T?
Thanks for help.
Nadine
Love the pattern!
One small note, and I know it’s shown properly in the sizing legend, but the sizing for the narrow 0-3 vs 6-12 (first pattern at top of page) is a touch confusing! The 6-12 months in writing at the very top seems as though it’s referring to the dotted line (top) vs, the dashed line (bottom). Just thought I’d mention it in case any one else was confused!
Thanks for this post!
Thank you for sharing. I love it.
Someone else mentioned the 0-3 mo. vs. 6-12 months and I am also confused. When I measure them, the 0-3 months is actually longer than the 6-12 months size, which makes no sense. Is this a typo? Thanks!
Can I get this pattern and tutorial as a free download? It keeps trying to get me to install some special program which I do not want.
There is no program to download. Did you press the pink button?
Love this, just wondering how much fabric I would need to make these, maybe in the 2T size as that’s the largest?
I’m wondering the same thing!
I am also wondering how much fabric to buy for this. I’ve read it all 3 times looking for info, it must be left off
I cannot seem to download the file for cricut 🙁
