I will be working this headband in baby size (0-3months). The other sizes will be written inside a bracket.
This pattern is adjustable. You can easily adjust it by working more or less waffle stitch that is between both bobble stitches that are at both ends of the band.
As indicated by the arrows in the picture below. The area (or the length of the waffle stitch) between the two arrows is where we increase or decrease to make a smaller or bigger headband.
Therefor, this waffle stitch headband is worked exactly the same for all sizes, the only difference is on the size of the waffle stitch worked between the bobble stitches that is at both ends of the band.
