I searched the google archives for alt.sewing, where these have
been discussed before:

You would have to size it up for an adult.

LOL I think You and Kay got this one covered. ;) My only tip on these
type of do-rags is go ahead and line them with something. You don't have
to line the band around the front that becomes the ties. I do a lot of
these for my BIL. He's "follically challenged." (IOW, not so much hair
left any more.) He really likes these type hats. So for summer, I make
them for him out of quilting cottons (with all type of WILD prints) and
line them with baby terry cloth. He says that works great. For winter, I
line them with 100% cotton flannel, prewashed in hot a couple times. It's
very soft, and keeps his head cozy in the winter. :) Most of the patterns
I've seen are all about the same, so pick whichever one you makes the most
sense to you.
