This pattern for helmet liners, also known as "wool pulleys" for soldiers was provided by Linda Swinford of Auburn, Illinois. The original pattern is by Bonnie Long and appears here along with modifications made at the request of soldiers who have received the liners.

(Note that in the pictured hat, the earflaps are 4″ and the main part of the hat is 4″.
I changed the pattern to reflect what I discovered when finished — the flaps are a bit too long, and the length would be better used as part of the hat proper.)
