This scarf is a universal summer headdress. It will not only cover your head from the sun, but will also serve as decoration. From an everyday scarf, it can turn into a smart headband thanks to the double-sided folds that can easily be folded inside the headband.
We will need:
- Thick cotton fabric
- Elastic band 2.5 cm thick and 15 cm long.
- Threads of a suitable color
- Decor for the headband (you can do without it).
1. First of all, let's determine the size of the bandage. To do this, measure the circumference of your head. My daughter’s head circumference is 45 cm (1.8 years). We subtract 13 cm from the circumference of the head and get the width of a large rectangle. 45 - 13 = 32cm. The length can vary from 23 to 30cm. I took the length 25 cm. The result was a rectangle 32 cm wide and 25 cm long. We add 1 cm to the allowances and get a 33x26cm rectangle that we need to cut out.
For the bottom of the bandage, into which the elastic will be threaded, cut out a rectangle 34x7.5cm.
2. Cut out the details of the bandage.
3. We make the part with an elastic band.
Sew a strip for the elastic. To make the strip exactly the size of the elastic, which should fit perfectly in it, when laying the stitch, I put the elastic on top, retreating a few mm from the fold line. I lay the line at a distance of a few millimeters from the elastic band. You need to sew carefully, without catching the elastic.
Turn the strip over onto your face. I do this using a long, wide knitting needle or scissors.
Insert the elastic into the strip. Also using a knitting needle. Our part with an elastic band is ready.
4. We process the edges of the main rectangular part. We fold the long edges of the rectangular piece twice, 0.5 cm each, and sew a stitch.
This is what the main rectangular piece looks like with hemmed edges. We process only two opposite edges in this way.
5. Sew the part with the elastic to the main part. I did it in such a way that I got folds on both sides. To do this, place the edge of the elastic, seam up, on the center of the raw smaller edge of the rectangle, so that the edge of the elastic extends 1 cm onto the rectangle. The rectangle is wrong side up.
I alternately form folds on both sides.
The finished edges of the rectangle create slightly smaller folds in the center of the elastic.
I secure the folds with a stitch back and forth several times to be secure.
On the front side, the folds converge beautifully towards the center.
We turn the edge of the strip into which the elastic is threaded by 0.4 cm and pull it over the rectangle sewn to the elastic so that the sewing seam is covered by 1 cm.

- scissors;
- ruler;

I did the cutting based on the dimensions of the pattern found on the Internet (unfortunately, the authorship is unknown).
I determined experimentally that the sizes can be changed. It is best to cut the elongated end of the scarf according to the measurement of the neck circumference.
Otherwise, the scarf will either dangle around the neck (in my first version it turned out like this, I had to shorten it), or, on the contrary, it will tighten the neck.

We continue to study sewing hats. Let me remind you that the site has already been reviewed on the blog, production and. All these hats Can be sewn for children and adults. It is only necessary to carry out the appropriate measurements and calculations.
Today I will describe how to sew a gathered scarf.
If you look at the drawing of the scarf, you may wonder how it will be tied. I immediately presented several models that differ in the way they are fastened. It is possible that there are more of them. So:
a) a scarf with gathers and an elastic band. In the drawing it is necessary to calculate the distance from point B to point B1 = O head - 2 (3 cm). And an elastic band 2-2.5 cm wide will be sewn into this missing place.
b) a scarf with gathers and ties. Distance BB1= Heads. And strips 30+30 cm long (for 2 ties) are cut out separately.
c) A scarf with a gathered button. BB1= Headbands+4 cm (overlap for fastener).
d) A scarf with gathers and one-piece ties. The size will allow you to tie it like a regular scarf. It is this method that will be calculated in the drawing.
Construction of a gusset drawing
1. BB1 = 90 cm. If necessary, take 100 cm. You can check using a simple thick thread. Cut off the required length, apply it to your head like a scarf and tie it.
2. BB3=B1B2=6cm – binding width.
3. BB1= 90 cm+10 cm=100 cm. Size 10 cm can also be increased to 15-20 cm. The larger it is, the thicker the folds will be.
4. ВВ2=В2В1=ВВ1:2=100:2=50 cm.
5. B2B3 – middle line of the scarf. B2B3 is perpendicular to line BB1 = 45 cm.
6. B4 and B5 – auxiliary points. ВВ4=В1В5=10 cm.
7. B4B2B5 – bottom line of the scarf. Connect these dots.
8. Trace the outline of the drawing.
Also in the figure you can see the image of another scarf. It is similar to a scarf with folds, but it has soft folds and is drawn like a triangle.
If you use your imagination a little more, you can come up with visors for such models.
The fabric must be chosen natural. Namely, chintz, linen, calico, poplin, madapolam and others.
Cut out the parts of the scarf as shown in the figure. Before cutting, you need to check the correctness of the layout. The sizes of the binding are already given with allowances, so you just need to trace the pattern on the fabric. In the scarf, add 1 cm along the smooth edge, and 1-1.5 cm along the smooth edges.
Handkerchief processing
1. Sew the straight sides of the scarf using a hem stitch with a closed or open cut. 
2. Sew hand or machine stitches in two parallel lines as shown in the picture. The distance between lines is 0.5 cm.
3. Place the front side of the tape on the back side of the scarf and pin together the middle lines and ends of the scarf with the tape (up to the seam allowance).
4. Gather excess fabric along the edge of the scarf for gathering, evenly distributing the gathers along the middle part of the scarf. Baste, remove pins and stitch on the gusset side as shown in the picture.
5. Trim off excess fabric, turn the trim right side out and sweep away.
6. Fold the top edge of the binding inwards, baste and stitch.
7. Remove the basting and iron the finished product.
Some fabrics shrink, so before cutting it is advisable to soak it in water, dry it and only then cut it.
Regardless of the choice of scarf model, it is necessary to check the size of the long side of the triangle before cutting. You can simply take a rope equal to the length of the future scarf and try it on your head. If the length is not enough for tying, then it should be increased and vice versa.
From the picture you can also see how to construct and sew a similar headscarf.
