Default ISO Helmet-Cap pattern

Greetings, all!

I'd like to find a pattern for an insulated snow cap like the one GoLite sold in its '02 catalog. I need a small one for my daughter as part of her sleep system, and the only retail source I find (Northern Mtn. Supply, which sells GoLite's leftovers) has only MED and LG.

Basically, it's a helmet-style ("GoDri" fabric, they call it, with Thinsulate, I think) with wrap-around flaps that go under the chin. It has a small visor, but I think I'd make it without the flap. I think I'd use Primaloft, too. Looks to be more efficient than Thinsulate.

Thank you!

If you are into making your own gear (especially sewing projects), I strongly suggestion you check out the forums at www.backpacking.net. As they seem to be the "best" on the 'net DIY backpacker.
