Rowan Pure Wool Worsted Knitted Helmet Kit - Hats and Gloves
Taken from Stories In Stitches 3: "Hard, protective helmets again became part of most standard uniforms in the late 1800s. By the beginning of WWI, nearly every country with a standing military was issuing both a uniform hat and a one-size-for-all helmet. Most were designed to wear for combat only. As the War progressed, many units ultimately used their combat helmets as the "cover of the day." The age-old problems of comfort and warmth needed to be faced on a very large scale."
This pattern is from Stories In Stitches 3, pg 20 - Knitted Helmet.
Size US 4 straight needles (or size needed to obtain gauge) are required but not included.
