You can always adjust this type of baby headband when tying the knot, and this is why I prefer these headbands for babies to other, fixed designs. Also, the fit will depend on the stretch of the knit you are using.
Err on the larger side. Shape the headband and press with an iron to smooth out any bumps. Tie the ends of the band into a knot. Grab the long end of the bias tape, wrapping it up and around your fingers and wrap it back through the headband. Push it up and through the middle loop where you fingers are.
Pull it through and adjust to create the perfect bow. Trim the edges of the bias tape, and put a small dot of hot glue between each folded end to prevent fraying. Sew through the center gap in the middle, hitting each pleat in an x pattern to keep it together tightly, making sure no raw edges are showing on the outside.
Leave as is, or wrap fabric around the donut, gathering all raw edges on one side, keeping them as flat as possible. Sew the fabric down into the donut on the raw side.

If measuring in person, you will want to measure the circumference of the head, in roughly the same place that you intend the headband to go. This will usually be just above the ears.
Babies are fragile and do not like to hold still, so taking their measurements can be challenging. If you have a cloth measuring tape, use this.
Avoid metal measuring tapes as they are inaccurate and may scratch the baby. If a cloth measuring tape is unavailable, measure the head using a length of soft string and then comparing the string to another measurement tool. If the baby is not located nearby or if the baby has not yet been born, you may have to rely on generalized measurements. These can be found readily on the internet. Try searching for standard sizes on sewing and craft websites and message boards.
It may also be possible to find another child of a similar size or age and measure their head. Decide the dimensions. You will want to decide the appropriate width of the band. This will largely depend on the size of the baby who will wear the headband, as a too-wide band will not conform to the head and simply slip off. A newborn will likely not be able to wear a band much wider than half an inch.
A six-month to one-year-old baby will probably be able to wear a one inch band. A toddler will probably be able to wear a two inch band. You may wish to test first before deciding. This can be done by cutting scrap fabric to try to visually guess the correct width or by having your baby try store-bought bands first to find the proper size.
Choose your materials. The materials for the band will largely depend on the type of band you wish to make. Since babies have soft, fragile skin, stretchy and soft materials are best.
