This adorable little knit baby headband looks super cute on babies and toddlers and it’s a great knitting pattern for beginners!

Well, I might as well quit blogging now. This post contains what will probably be the best photos I ever take of my kids. I mean, not to toot my own horn here (which I totally am doing) but I mean, seriously, is that a good photo of Baby V above, or what?! The light was perfect, her mood was right, I got the perfect angle. It was just a magical day where everything lined up. Really, look at a couple more…
You guys! She’s usually wearing hats, so you don’t usually get to see the curls, but look at them, aren’t they totally adorable? She twirls them with her fingers when she’s relaxed. So dang cute! But we can stop oogling my baby now, let’s talk about this headband. I LOVE this headband! Actually I love soft headbands for babies in general. I mean obviously, while newborns need hats, Baby V isn’t wearing any of her hats out of the house in the summer, but this nice lightweight cotton headband is super cute. And it’s easy enough to make that you can crank out a few in different colors. (Or go ahead and make a couple of my Knit Bow Baby Headband, that’s cute too!)
Anyway, I used a nice cotton yarn for this one and love how comfy and soft it is. If you make one, be sure to share it with me, I love seeing your creations!
