This tutorial will show you how to put together a basic Scrub / Surgical Cap for long hair. The cap is made up of 3 pattern pieces, and it has more room in the back for ponytails than a standard cap.
******************************************
NOTE:
The HEADBAND AND TIE should measure the full width of your fabric (usually about 42" or so). In the video, the "HEADBAND AND TIE (SIDES)" pattern piece was mistakenly shown as measuring 21". It should only be HALF of that, and you will need to cut 2 of this pattern piece. I have corrected this in the PDFs.

I laid the pattern pieces out on letter-size paper, and you will need to piece them together. You will notice that all pieces are on a 1/2"x1/2" grid to make the joining process easier.
To modify the pattern pieces for a better fit, see my "PATTERN GRADING" tutorial:
If you need help putting together the pattern pieces, see my quick tutorial on that:
All SEAM ALLOWANCES are already included as follows:
–SIDE CAP to HEADBAND/TIE seam: 1/4”
–HEADBAND/TIE seam: 1/4"
–SIDE CAP to TOP seam: 1/2”
–elastic casing (for this, you can use 1/4” elastic or any stretchy strip of fabric): 3/8"
This video will show you basic instructions for putting together this surgical cap for women. It'S meant for women that have long hair or want a pony tail tucked inside on the back supplies. You'Ll need for this project are, of course, a sewing machine. I would not recommend doing this by hand, especially it was the elastic in the back, an 18 by 21 quilting quarter, 3 inches of a quarter inch elastic. Any color will do because you won't see it. A safety pin thread color of your choice and, of course, fabric scissors. Now this is the pattern that I put together. It'S meant to be used with an 18 by 21 quilting quarter, and it should be a hundred percent cotton, preferably without stretch if you're using a different fabric, perhaps something that goes to whole width of 42 inches. You can go ahead and cut the headband and tie Center out of a single piece like I did here, and this is your side piece, and this is the top, not your side, piece at the center front, your cap side top bottom, your cap top at the Top and where the elastic casing will go now, take your cap side. Flip it right side down then you're going to turn the sides, a half-inch, so a quarter and a quarter on both sides and sew them together and finish off the edge. Then you're gon na take your headband tie and your side and put them with the right sides, both facing up and you're, going to stitch at the bottom. A quarter inch seam allowance. This is what it looks like. Then you flip the headband tie down you're gon na flip it over and then you're going to turn in a quarter inch and turn it up a quarter inch on the right side of the cap. Are you going to sew all of that down before you saw it, though you want to press that quarter inch on the top, the bottom and at the end, so it's easier to sew. Then you're going to fold it up match up your corners and you can then you're going to stitch alongside all the way across starting at the side, go up across all the way so that you press both of them together with the cap side, you go all The way down to the end - and this is what it looks like at the end - you might want to iron it. If you have an iron, then you're gon na take your cap top and match the notch at the center front, with the top of the cap side and you're going to stitch alongside up to the notch at the elastic all along the side. So you start there. I like to start at the center front and go to one side and match my notch, then start over again at the center front and go to the other side again up to that notch, and this is what it looks like when you've done that. I also went ahead and use my serger machine to clean off the edge. You can't really see it here because I'm using white thread, but it is a clean edge. Now. What I like to do is I like to top stitch on the cap side, so I put my seam towards the cap side and I toss stitch all along the edge there too in place, and now this is what it looks like up to now. You can see that I stitched the top and now we're going to place the elastic in this section. We have to do the elastic casing, so I turn in about an eighth of an inch small enough that I don't use though too much battery, but you do want to have enough to catch with a needle you're gon na, so make it wide enough. So that, of course, your elastic can fit in there and you're gon na create a casing from one end to all the way to the other, but leave the ends open now. This is what it looks like once: you've sewn it together and you're gon na. Take your three inch elastic and put a safety pin at the end and you're going to thread it through the casing. Now what I like to do is, I start threading it and I just keep going pulling it carefully so that the elastic doesn't get lost. And when I get to the point where the elastic meets the beginning of my seam right, there ice exact the elastic in place, and then I will once it's secure. I will keep threading the elastic. I will do the same thing at the other end and zigzag it in place as well. This is what it looks like at this point. You see that the elastic will give room for a ponytail and you can see the zigzag and then major closed up and what I'd like to do at the end is I take this side panel and I actually things I get in place together to make it A bit more snug and yet allowed for room for the hair. Still so again, you do it on both sides. You pinch them together right above then, you tie and you see, example in place and you can see how I secure that there and there, and you see it kind of - creates a pleat which will allow for hair to fit more comfortably, and this is the finished Product you

Sleepless In Scandia: Wow! Your tutorials and patterns are amazing. So clear and economical. My son is a dentist and needs these for himself (using your other pattern) and also for his staff which are all women. These will be perfect! Thanks so much for supplying these for us to use. I can make more with all the fat quarters I have. ❤️
Emily Tan: Thank you so much for this pattern! I have tried a couple previously but this one was the easiest to follow and fit better as well. I have almost waist length hair and was able to put it in a low bun and it fit quite easily in this cap.
Sharon Cone: I have been on a mission to find the perfect scrub cap for my daughter who just started her surgical (OB/GYN) residency last week. Thankfully, I found your pattern on Pinterest after attempting two other caps that did not work for us! This pattern is perfect! So comfortable, fits well and holds her hair. Thank you! (Also, was very blessed by your background music.)

trung nguyen: The current turnaround time for a scrub hat is 3 to 4 weeks on Etsy and Amazon. I decided to try and make one myself. I do not have a sewing machine so I had to do it by hand despite the video recommendation. It is doable. The instructions were easy to follow.The pattern was easily printed. I have long thick hair and the cap fits perfectly.
happi hook: This is a wonderful tutorial with clear instructions and minimal fabric waste. I am a healthcare worker and surgical hats are still difficult to come by. I tried a few different surgical caps and hats tutorials but this one is the best fit! I have made a few for myself and co-workers, we are thankful that you graciously provided this pattern for use.

compusword: Just made this long hair cap. Wonderful - well drafted. My FQ would not accommodate the bands, so bias ties were made and sewn to the headband. Thank you for making this video and pattern! Liz in Houston
Grace Hwang: Hi, thank you for this pattern! If I use 2 pieces to make the band, there’s a seam right smack in the middle of the forehead then right? Am I doing something wrong? Is there any way to avoid the seam in the middle if I don’t have a 41” piece?
Mari Navia: Hola exelente tutorial me.gustaria el patrón gracias
mandyn77: If you're not a sewing teacher you should be! This pattern and associated videos are exceptional! I haven't used a sewing machine since home ec class in the 80s and I pulled off a pretty good first effort. Thank you for sharing
American Dinosaurs/アメリカ砂漠生活: Finally I found the best video for scrub cap diy!Thank you so much.
Lauren Dunseath: @MrsDFreire- Thanks for this pattern. One of my friends is working in a hospital and needs some caps that will fit her VERY long and curly hair! The download did not include the headband/ties, but I'll search through and see if perhaps this just isn't the correct pattern link. My question is- I heard you say in the video that the overall length of the strap should be 42", but I can't tell the width. Is it 1.5"? Thanks so much for your help.
Ana Maricela Leitón: Gracias por compartir sus conocimientosmuy lindo!! No conozco tu idioma y soy sorda (discapacidad auditiva) por favor anota /escribe todas las medidas en los patrones. Saludos desde Costa Rica

regina Reggie dendy: Thank you for this tutorial
Claudine Niski: Hello, Thank you for the tutorial. My nurse friend gave me the link to this tutorial to see if I could make her one. I plan to make her three. My question is that your fabric in the video shows white on the backside. Is that because you used a lining? I don't see a lining or interfacing mentioned anywhere or on the pattern. So maybe you only used it for contrast in the video? What do you recommend? Thank you for doing this!
Calluna Morland: fantasticthanks a lot
Betty Jean Brady: Where do I get the printable pattern?
jmsva69: Good morning. I am finally working on the long hair cap. I made 2 mistakes as a new sewer. One I cut the notches too deep but was able to sew just below the one problem notch and almost kept the 1/4 inch seam allowance. The other mistake and I am not sure what I did was somehow make the cap longer than the side piece so that I had too much material to pin. I got on the internet and found a solution which worked but I would like to figure out what I did so that I won't do it again.
Brownsugar Chronicles: Can you please make video on how to piece the pattern together once printed?
Aracely Balderas: Do you have any tutorials for making a scarf mask? I'm looking for one that is not too restrictive around the neck part, my father has a trach and need something that will accommodate this. Thank you in advance.
Debbie Fenno: What is the difference between the original Cap Top / Cap Side and the updated versions? I can see that the shape of the Cap Side is different and that the Cap Top is slightly smaller. Is the updated version a correction or an improvement to the earlier one? What is the difference in the finished product? Thank you.
Judith Medina: Nice an easy ! Thank you! You had a beautiful voice to read children stories
Marija Djordjevic: Thank you

Nicole Bird: Hi, I followed your instructions on how to get the free pattern but haven't heard back yet. Do you know how long it will be before I get one?
AR Dwyer: From looking at the pattern, the cap side in your pdf pattern looks different than the one in your video. I'm confused. The sides where you turn 1/4" are different.
Miranda R.: How can I print this pattern?
Lady P.: Struggling with the elastic channel, can someone recommend an easy way please? EDIT SOLVED THE ISSUE Overlocked (serger) the raw edge. Gather stitch, pin, sew.
Ash K: I just found this video a year later, can I still get the pdf?
Amma K: The music is from the song Bless the Lord oh my soul, somewhat confusing but there's no denying a beautiful melody. Also nice pattern! I'm searching for some cap models for night wear purposes and since I'm a beginner it's still quite hard to grasp what sort of shapes turn into a wearable item.
Diana Santiago: Super great video
Samantha Yarr: Hello, I can't seem to find where to print the pattern. Can you send me the link? Thank you!

dayana moreno: Queremos los moldes por favor
Linda Salas: Great tutorial. The printable pattern is a little confusing. There are to many pattern pieces.
jmsva69: My daughter has asked me to make masks to go along with your scrub cap pattern and she wants me to make them with elastic ties to attach to the button on the scrub cap. I don't know how to calculate the length of the rolled 1/8' elastic to stretch from the mask to the button on the scrub cap. Can you tell me if there is a set length i.e 7" or a way to figure out what length I should use. By the way, I gave them a choice between the long hair cap and the ponytail cap and there was a tie between the two choices. The two doctors of course chose your regular scrub cap.
teeepful: Have just sent you an email! Thanks :)

luz carmen gentry: This was easy but very confusing when reading the correction.for the center/ ties. I cut it based on your pattern an it was only 20 inches long but in your explanation you contradict yourself and you say 21 inches but at the end you say 41. It should be 41. Correct. I already cut my fabric and 21 is toooo short
