Head scarf, in my context, refers to Muslim women head scarf (known as "hijab" in Arabic Language and "tudung" in Malay Language). By definition it is a head covering worn in public by Muslim women.
Yuitsumuni (http://yuitsumuni.com/2009/05/18/do-it-yourself-tudung/) provides a Do-It-Yourself guides on headscarf. One of the pictorial guides (which is actually borrowed from someone else's work) is copied to here.
This guide is for creating pattern from an existing head scarf. The following steps correspond to the above photo set.
1. Get the head scarf component items.
2. Get the head scarf that you like.
3. Trace the awning component (the top front part of head scarf that looks like the "bill" part of a baseball cap)
4. Cut the awning template.
5. Select the fabric for awning component.
6. Cut the fabric in 5 based on the template in 4.
7. Cut the interface for the awning (to strengthen the awning shape).
8. Lay the pieces together.
9. Stitch the interfacing.
10. Fold the stitched fabric to form triangle shape.
11. Find the matching fabric for the main component of head scarf.
12. Fold the fabric and trace the head scarf shape from the existing piece.
13. Stitch the awning part to the main component of head scarf.
14. Stitch the main part starting from the chin part down to the bottom part.
15. & 16. It's done.
