1950s Headscarf Hat Sewing Pattern – Vintage Nurse’s Cap

A practical little headscarf hat from the 1950s, designed to keep hair neatly tucked away while cooking, cleaning or working around the house.

This versatile vintage design combines the look of a headscarf with the convenience of a fitted hair covering. It could also be made as a vintage-style nurse’s hat, making it a lovely choice for historical uniforms, theatrical costumes or 1950s nursing outfits.

For everyday wear, try cotton gingham, cheerful polka dots or a pretty floral print. For a traditional nurse-inspired version, plain white cotton would work beautifully.

A useful little sewing project that can be made in a variety of fabrics to suit its purpose.

Skill level: Suitable for those with basic sewing experience.
