A post in this thread postulated that the Squid Game soldiers' balaclavas were custom made. This made me think this could be a good replica recreation project for me and a simple cosplay creation project for some members.
Since my goal is to recreate an existing prop. as opposed to create a functional equivalent, the first task was to collect useful reference images. Next, analyze those images as well as review some of the show's episodes to see the prop “in action” and capture any design or functional details which I believe are critical to the prop. Then list the components which make up the prop, design each component, then test my design by making a prototype. I plan to capture and share my process so others can contribute or comment on my approach, and then use any information they find useful to make their own replica if they so desire.
My observations on the “functional” aspects of the prop include;
it is worn by pulling it over the head
it covers the entire head from crown down to the wearer's neckline
there is a front eyehole opening
the front eyehole opening stretches enough that the entire head can pass through
it is form-fitting, but the balaclava does appear to gather or pool around the neck
there is a minimum of fabric under the chin so it does not interfere with the mesh mask or the pink jumpsuit collar/hood
The show's balaclava has several separate pattern pieces. There are still some garment construction details which are unknown because there are as yet no images which clearly show views of the entire balaclava. For example, the back of the neck or even the lower front of the neck when not covered by the jumpsuit. This has required me to make some assumptions in my design and I will clearly indicate when these assumptions have been used. Obviously one reason of using this forum to discuss this project is to encourage members who might have special insight, or images which we would find helpful to the project to contribute to the collective knowledge base.
From the analysis of existing images I have identified the following separate pattern pieces and have applied “names” to each piece with the hope of providing a common, if perhaps not precisely correct, terminology to aid in our group communications. A labeled image will be provided to support this terminology. Those pieces and their composition are;
Center Top Panel (Top) – stretch fabric with mesh overlay
Mouth Panel (Mouth) – stretch fabric with mesh overlay
Front Neck Panel (Front) - stretch fabric
Back Neck Panel (Back) – stretch fabric
(ASSUMPTION: This is a single piece patterned to fit, complete, and fill, the puzzle-piece hole produced when all other pieces are joined.)
Side Panel (Side) (2 separate pieces Left and Right) - stretch fabric
Eyehole Binding (Binding) – stretch fabric
Two additional garment elements are not pieces at all but instead are “negative” spaces created by the garment. These are often not specifically called out in a design, but they exist and have important characteristics necessary for the proper use and function of the garment. The first is perhaps the most important element, the Eyehole. The second is the Hem of the balaclava, which like the hem of a “hoodie” allows the wearer to put their head into the garment.
My next post will provide an overview of the pattern pieces and their relationship to one another to form the complete garment.

Received my gloves from Temu
As you see it’s correct pattern for textured surface on palm and nails
