How to make really easy DIY Scrub Caps

Free Easy reversible, DIY, changeable, long hair or short hair, male or female, Scrub Caps... No pattern or download needed :) And if you don't have elastic you can use the small piece of ribbon! The elastic is designed just to hold the hair and keep the back of the hat gathered together. The ties hold the hat onto your head not the elastic.

I do the cutting and my wife does the sewing. She is up to 175 hats in the past 3 weeks for our local hospital. Thank you for the easy pattern (from my wife!). Before that my wife made over 700 masks. I am so proud of her work.

Woa..she sews quickly!!

That’s amazing. As a nurse, I know that the staff at that hospital truly appreciate that!

Thank you for the tutorial, My wife has just lost her hair due to chemo for breast cancer, she loves sewing and this has helped her take control of the hair loss and a project to keep her mind occupied. She played with the dimensions slightly to get a best fit and used slightly wider ties to make a feature of the bow and padded out the “gather” with bundle of muslin.

[@OwnedByAGrey]

Put silk fabric to the inside, and you have yourself a great sleeping cap for those of us girls with curly or ethnic hair. Great pattern! Thank you SO much for sharing!

By the way, her voice is so very soothing; like a very patient school teacher! It helps!

[@ritabrunetti381]

As I watched this video I imagined that these caps would be welcomed by women who may have cancer and have lost their hair. How pretty to make them with bright and colorful prints. I appreciated the fact that you could simply fold the cap and make a cuff. So many uses for a simple pattern. Thanks!

[@caroldean4417]

We would really appreciate them. I used to have a head of beautiful long thick silky hair. Not anymore thanks to ibrance. But hey, it is keeping me alive. (Well GOD is but let’s keep going for now.) Not only hair loss from Chemo but hair loss, thinning, or change due to a number of factors: chemo, CDK inhibitors, loss of estrogen in CA pts from treatment, aromatase inhibitors, alopecia (immune system attacks hair follicles and kills them), trauma, anxiety (hair pulling), etc...can you tell i was a RN before MBCA (metastatic [this means stage 4, the last stage] breast cancer)? Don’t forget the kiddos! Can this pattern be downsized for the kids?

Exactly so! I saw this tutorial and thought, "How timely", as my hair has just begun to fall out from chemo. (for Rectal cancer) I'm finishing up my cap now. Thank you, Laura of Sew Very Easy, for teaching me to make a simple yet pretty cap to don my quickly balding head. 😃

Exactly! I wonder if the back of the cap will get pressed down against a carseat headrest or something and make it obvious that there's no hair there, or if I'm overthinking this.

[@Jessica-nt7kc]

Thank you for sharing so many wonderful ideas, patterns, and tips! For those who need to see supplies written out, like me, it sounds like the pattern requires: Two 18 x 22 inch rectangles of main fabric(s) One 2.5 x 45 inch fabric strip (or 2- 2.5 x 22.5 inch fabric strips) One 8 inch piece of elastic :)

This is such a splendid way to cover the head. I have alopecia and can see how I could wear this and still feel covered well and look stylish at the same time.

This is one of the BEST tutorials for a much needed product I have come across in years!! And you're so easy to listen to and great to look at, to boot! I am a Paramedic, and have been struggling with configuring my hair (short), goggles, glasses, face mask, in the heat of SW Florida, and it's been just a mess. I am STILL experimenting with methods and figuring out the right sequence to don on the equipment, for our specific setting, in a way I can continue seeing without getting fogged up, keep my hands from having to come back to my head for adjustments after I engaged in patient care, and remove the head/face protections in the right sequence once I'm finished. I think the right head gear will help the rest fall in place. I have baby-soft post-chemo very thin hair which holds nothing, and a small egg-shaped head (that is, that prominent curve in the back is not as prominent), and ball caps have helped keep stuff in place from sliding, but are not the ultimate solution. I have my machines ready to go into action experimenting with mask designs (not for work, unfortunately) and head coverage (for work), and hundreds of pounds of fabric to do it with. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I Need this badly!!

[@jenna2431]

So happy to find this video with a familiar face (I also made drawstring pouches from another one of your videos!) This was so much easier to follow than the PDF patterns I downloaded, and fun to sew! My daughter wore it to work and now every one of her female co-workers wants one, so I am making a half dozen more to coordinate with the restaurant's colors/logo!

I love it! What a great pattern & definitely great instructions! Thank you so much! All my 1/4 in. elastic went into making face masks but I do have 1/2 in. What a great bonnet to throw on when you have to run to the store quick AND I can pair it with a matching face mask. New fashion trend! 😀 Thank you again! You are keeping us inspired & busy! 💗

LaRae W great idea making a coordinating mask. I may have to steal your idea. Thank you 💕

LaRae, I hope you don't mind my responding to your comment. I made a couple of old fashioned prairie bonnets a year ago, and when we needed masks this year I used leftover fabric from those bonnets. So I have been wearing my puffy prairie bonnets with matching masks and having a good time doing my grocery shopping!

I made a scrub cap and used binding tape instead of making the straps . I have been wearing this cap all the time! It is so comfortable, versatile, and cheerful. Thank you for the tutorial

Cut up pantyhose makes a good elastic as well. just make the stripes wider, when you stretch them they get smaller and then nothing will fray. they are quite elastic - not as much as the bought ribbons, but quite good. and the waist bands are very elastic.

Helpful hint! If you don't have one of those fancy things to pull the tie through the cast, use circular knitting needles! Just fold them in half, loop the tie over, and push the two needles together all the way through. Worked like a charm!!!

Love this! Thank you so much for this great pattern and detailed how to video! Looking for this for gardening to keep my hair free from catching whatever might be crawling around out there! (We have an awful lot of ticks this time of year)

I.Love.This.Tutorial. If you do assembly line style, these go so fast. I’ve noticed the thinner the elastic the less bunch the back will be. This is everything I’ve been looking for in a pattern, which is not a pattern.

I work in an orthopaedic theatre. Infection control is very strict. We have been told that our disposable scrub caps are being stopped. We can wear cotton ones that they will supply. Also we can buy our own. I have been sewing 48 years and wanted to make my own. You pattern is perfect as i have long hair. I struggled to get my hair in the disposable ones . Great tutorial, and I can't wait to make some when i get the time x

Thank you. I make these for my ER nurses and they love them. I love to be able to help my frontline ladies. This is the easiest pattern I have found yet.

At about 5:00 I was thinking to myself: "Laura, why not use a serger." And then you said: "You can also use a serger" 😘 Easy project; thank-you, Laura. 👍

Wonderful! I can make one of these to keep the sawdust out of my hair when I am sawing wood. The folded scarves I’ve tried just weren’t working very well. Thanks for a very well-done video.

I have now made around 10 caps like this and they are perfect!! I have this on speed search for a guide each time I make one. Thank you for making this so easy. Also, these were the very first sewing item I have evert made. I am literally a newbie and this is what I decided to make for my first project. I could not be happier! Thank you!

I am a dental hygienist and have made the decision to wear a cap when I am able to go back to work (Covid-19). This was my very 1st sewing project ever as I just received my 1st sewing machine last week. This tutorial was great and the project was simple. I will be making more of these caps and will share this tutorial with my colleagues. Thank you so much!

Wonderful!

I absolutely love the caps I made. The pattern was easy to follow. I was so excited with the results that I made two right off the bat. Thanks so much for sharing.
