There is no gauge on any of those I have found and considering the fact that fit is critical for our armed services members, this is a big problem. Why bother. Military guidelines require that these helmet liners fit and that gauge is critical to the point if it is off within 1/2 of a stitch per inch for the knitted version, it renders the helmet liner useless.

Every helmet liner will be gratefully received and put to good use. Not sure about silks ... I'm sure it would get used but would also probably need some extra care?

Not sure about silks … I’m sure it would get used but would also probably need some extra care?

Or could it be a yarn with various subtle tones of a brown color, for example? Can it be a tweed color? Can it contain other natural fibers, like silk, e.g. 20% silk? Does the color have to be solid?

(while the project is still going) Can I include a note to the soldier receiving it? (this adds to the weight) Can I attach a non-flammable label to the liner? Can I send a liner at any time?

That night I talked to 2 off duty soldiers and asked them if they knew which colors were acceptable. They told me that only true black and a certain shade of green,( they showed me as they were in uniform, I don't know what to call the color- sorta pale olive-tan-gray? was allowed, that the other colors were no longer allowed, that was out of date. I dorve the 40 miles back to the store and traded my wool for a black-black one, I've almost completed the liner but before I make another I need to know if my information is wrong or is the pattern's color choices listed incorrect. How does one find out for sure? Thanks for your help, Jean Ok, here’s the deal, I wanted to make one for my brother and bought a beautiful dark brown Cascade 220 Superwash.
