Hi there, anyone know where I can get an online version of patterns like these? I want to buy it, but i'm not keen on paying 30€ for shipping (and the wait time). 

Also my search engine here seems to be broken abit (searching "hat" returns nothing"), so I appreciate all the help.

 

Cheers

Etsy shop by Bonnie Bowman has these available. Also the editor of Blackpowder News in Iowa sells pioneer style patterns. Good luck!

Thanks! I also found out that in America oca its also called a "coonskin cap" and that brings many more results.

Thanks for everything. I decided to just wing it and I made a pattern myself and made a hat from some cheap fur i had, to get a feel of how it sits. 

One thing, alot of sites mention a  "blanket stitch" for sewing. I just saddle stitched it with a 1mm waxed thread and it looks nice. So is saddle stitching ok, or can it rip? 

Im sorry for all the questions, but fox furs here arent really cheap and i dont want to ruin them. 

Cheers

A blanket stitch is the same as a running whip stitch....where it goes from one hole ---> over the edge---> and into the next hole - one needle attached to the thread. Most furs are soft and not very strong leather. If you didn't pull it tight and just snug the saddle stitch, I think you will be fine. I used a saddle stitch on rabbit fur when I made my hat. I also used the blanket stitch (whip stitch).
