Well, I just couldn't justify the price they were asking.
I don't have any special material, but I have a lot of scrap knit fabric leftover from previous projects. I figured that I could easily make a few of these myself, sans special fabric.
Anyway, I'm posting this as a tutorial because it actually took me the whole episode of Mythbusters to figure out how to join the ends together neatly. I was very distracted.
I figured I might as well share this with all of you.
Here's a sample of a few I made. Some are headed to my sis in Toronto.
Here's the tutorial.
I hope it's easy enough for you!
I used a 4"x 20" piece of scrap knit. The stretch is lengthwise.
4" wide gives a headband about 1.35" wide. I measured around my head, and got 22".
Tada!

Fantastic, and so CUTE on your little ones!
Lovely!! I've never quite gotten the knack of sewing jersey....
love this, I have some really cool fabrics this might be the perfect pattern!
Great job on the tutorial, and I love your pint size model!

Beautiful! Now, is it just me, or is there a special way to keep them on your head. Headbands just always slip right off--I think I may have a pointed head!
Great idea! I posted a link to your tutorial on Craft Gossip Sewing Blog:

Pretty!! I can't wait to try this! Looks so simpler and quicker than other tutorials! Thanks a lot!
Cute, cute, cute! I'm going to have to get some more stretchy fabric, and when I do, this is the first thing I'll make! Thanks! :)
Thanks for the tut! I just got a whole box of knit fabric (with a lot of scraps) from freecycle, these will be awesome!!
