So, here I am with another headband. And this one was such a quick, fun knit up! I LOVE the way it turned out!! :D Instructions as follows: Using Sz. 8 straight needles and a remnant of Red Heart Eco-Cotton in Linen Marl I cast on 11 stitches and knit the entire thing in the Turkish stitch, also known as the Lace Like stitch.
Actually, I used a variation of the Turkish stitch: Row 1: K1 *YO,K2tog...repeat from * to end of row
Repeat row 1 for entire desired length of headband.
Bind off.
Sew ends together.
Glue on a large fake flower or other fun *girlie* things
Regular Turkish stitch would be to cast on any even number of stitches so that you can K the first stitch and K the last stitch. There are 3 or 4 variations of this Lace Like/Turkish stitch. I learned this stitch from Knitting Tips by Judy off of youtube.

On a side note, I knit this headband to 15 inches as it has A LOT of stretch. My daughter wearing it is 8 1/2 but this headband even fits me with all the stretch so be sure to make it smaller than you think you should to avoid sagging or loose fit.
