I made 1000's of them for the TX State Board of Nurses Anesthetists... I made 3 models.. The boufant (sp) , the modeified ladies, and the traditional scrub ( mens) hat.
I Started out with a traditional scrub hat ( simplicity/etc carry them) then modified it to my liking. I had a request for a banded hat for the ladies.. I found a ( again simplicity or macalls) hat pattern that worked otu find... puffy on top ( so as not to mash their hair down but not like a showercap) They are very easy to make.
My modified banded ladies hat was very simular to this one..
