Here is my version of a knit helmet liner that we call a Helmet Hoody
Materials and Tools:
1 Med. weight yarn 4 (amount uncharted so far, but original pattern called for approx 208yd), I used Sugar’n Cream cotton yarn by Lily Cotton
1 Fine weight yarn 2 (amount unknown so far, original called for approx 170yd). I used a yarn that I guessed, using a diagram, was the appropriate size.
Needles used: 6, 6” 4mm double pt. needles and 4mm 24″ circular needles
Gauge:13sts/22 rows = 4”
Finished measurements: 19” circ. @ base, 12” circ @ top x 13” long

HOOD ~ this is where I switched to the circular needles. It was just easier for me. If I had smaller circular needles I would have used them only.
