How to Measure Your Head for a Headband

Use a soft flexible tape measure and place it around your head where you will wear the headband.

What Are Head Measurements for Headbands

If you are making a headband as a gift, you may need some head circumferences to reference:

  • 6-10 years - 21" (53.5cm)
  • Small Adult - 22" (56cm)
  • Large Adult - 23" (58.5cm)

What is the Average Length of a Headband?

Most patterns will cut the fabric slightly smaller than the head circumference in order to get a tight fit. This is particularly important for stretch headbands.

Headband Sewing Patterns FAQs

Which fabric is the best for making headbands?

Stretch knit fabric, especially polyester knit fabric, is great for making headbands. It stretches well, and it is not that bulky. If you are making a woven fabric headband then try fat quarters of quilting fabric. These pre-cuts will save you money and are generally the perfect size.

How many yards of fabric is needed to make a headband?

You will need about ¼ yard (20cm) of fabric and matching thread for making a headband.

How wide should I keep my headband?

Typically, a headband should be about 4 inches wide. This width works best for covering your ears. However, you can always change it to your liking.  

Are fabric headbands more suitable for hair?

Yes, fabric headbands are great for hair since they do not pull hair or damage them. They are much better for healthy hair than elastic headbands.
