Simple WWI helmet
This is called Simple Helmet. It is a form-fitting, smooth design.
WWI Great War Simple Helmet Balaclava, Hand Knitted
The Simple Helmet I knitted using an ash grey wool yarn. (The neck of the helmet doesn't bunch like this on a real person. The plastic model head I use for photos doesn't have much of a neck.)
Handmade Knitted WWI Great War Balaclava Helmet
Side view of the Simple Helmet I made. Again, the neck part bunches because of the plastic model head I use for photos.
WWI balaclava with cape
Here is a similar model to the Simple Helmet, but with cape pieces.
WWI peary helmet
This is called the Peary Helmet. It is similar in design to Helmet A.
WWI Great War Seamen's Helmet
This Seamen's Helmet is just about the same as Helmet B.
Aviator or navy men's helmet WWI.
This is an aviator or navy men's helmet. Again, it is similar to Helmet B and the Seamen's Helmet.
Great War French Soldiers Cap
This is a Crocheted French Soldier's Cap

This is the same Trench Cap but with the cuff rolled up. You can see the Trench Cap is similar to the Skull cap below, but has different shaping at the top and also is a little longer.

I followed the pattern to knit the muffler that folds into a cap. It ended up being quite easy to make.

When the muffler is folded into a cap (shown here with the one I made), it is doubled in thickness and very warm.

This is an Austro-Hungarian balaclava and cap combo that I made. I worked from original photos and my customer supplied the buttons.
