Scrub caps if they are custom made are a huge deal for surgeons. So as my daughter was about to start general surgery residency, she asked me if I could make a custom scrub cap for her - I used to sew for people for 20 years back in Russia. I still love to sew, I am creative like that. So I went searching on the internet to find a pattern to make a scrub cap she wanted: really tight fit, with elastic band in the back and, of course, I know she is going to pull on those ties, so seams might break. That's where zigzag stitch comes in handy.
I found bits and pieces online, and made up my own pattern. Decided to create a video tutorial too. Enjoy making scrub caps for your surgeon!
