Coonskin Cap Pattern?

[SandSquid]

I'm ordering (2) 2XL Open Skinned Skunk Pelts to make my "Daniel Boone" cap.... I've got a great idea of what I'm doing from Luke, but I'm still a bit leery of making a huge pile of expensive scrap.Anybody used the Classic Fur Hat Pattern: http://www.glacierwear.com/classic-fur-hat-pattern.html

Hi

I couldn't find a cap pattern... but here a site that explains how to make your own pattern.

Already read that, sounds easy enough, and tracks along with what luke showed me yesterday, but I'd still prefer an actual pattern to work off of for my first attempt.

Also, the homepage of thecoonskincap (http://thecoonskincap.com/) has three-step-by-step videos of the hat or a similar hat made from the same or similar pattern as the one in the second link there.

Ugh, bad video link. Try here instead:

Looks like only the first part is available anymore. Oh well, it at least shows some pretty good tips.
