Headband knitting patterns - baby and children

Knitted headband or hat - which is better for your child?

Knitted headbands are especially popular with girls. They’re ideal for children who need their ears kept warm but tend to sweat easily. Since they only cover the sensitive ear area children can move around freely without overheating while still being protected from drafts. However, in very cold or windy weather in automn and winter, headbands do not provide as much protection than a wooly hat. They are therefore best suited for mild temperatures, whereas a warm knitted hat is the better choice for kids in colder conditions. With my simple easy-to-follow, aran knitting patterns for children, you can knit unique headbands or hats - perfect for any season and outfit. Choose lightweight cotton for summer and warm, cozy wool for winter.
