once again, I repeat, the hats for the operating room nurses and scrub techs do NOT need to be sterile. Only the things that touch the patient, (unless they lay their head in the wound. . .). I am CNOR (Certified Nurse of the Operating Room), and I've made over 2500 hats in 3 different states!
The most unusual thing I've made recently was a carrier for a dutch oven - the kind that goes in the fire or coals. It had to be somthing that wouldn't burn, sturdy enough to carry, etc. They worked out really well.
