Carolyn has inspired me to come up with a Balaclava for me & hubby too. The blue one will be mine because I made the hole to big & I can grab the fleece & pull it up over my face when i have it on. The yellow one is for hubby & he will love that I made this as he blows snow too & has lost his knit balaclava. Carolyn has a much nicer model then I have LOL. They are both quite long & can easily be tucked inside your shirt to stay warm or left out to cover over your coat too. The yellow has not been finished at the end & will have to wait for hubby to get back from work to measure the length properly but I think even left longer will be ok

Wonderful gift for hubby...and for yourself! It gets so cold out there in the dark morning hours clearing the snow.

I had never heard of these until I saw Carolyn's and what a great idea....
fleece is on sale and the patterns are limitless, you can also embroider on them......I really like the colors here, especially the yellow....great job, Loralye!

My hubby has these and I did not know their name. I just called them helmet liners. I love the fleece idea as the ones he has is a durable cotton lined with flannel.

yes they have been called helmet liners too. Soilders used to wear them under the helmets to keep dry & warm. Thanks Mary, hugs

These are beautiful, well done! You have inspired me to try to make one. I suffer from Trigeminal Neuralgia and this would be perfect to protect my face. Thank you ♥

These look very nice and warm. I have been looking for something like this for my son but I haven't had any luck. You just came up with this, just by looking at someone else's project. You are so talented. I 'm a beginner at sewing could you help me so I can make one for my son?

I will post some instructions for everyone in community sewing. I'm sure that you can make one too I just hope that my instructions are ok

I have added instructions for this in community, it is really very easy to make. To make your first one try it out then if you need any changes you can go from there. I made the blue one first in a thinner fleece more for a practice then got it & made the yellow one out of thicker fleece.
