Looking for a Beaver/Muskrat Hat Pattern

[HunterDave]

I have a beaver tanned and ready to make a hat and a few muskrats with holes that I'm going to tan and I'm looking for a pattern for a bomber style hat. I did a quick google search today but I couldn't find any detailed patterns to download. Halford's sells a pattern but it looks like a Davy Crockett hat. I'm going to search youtube tonight but I was wondering if anyone knew offhand where I could find a pattern. Anyone know a good site?

Maybe talk to AJ at west lock ATA he might know

You could go on Kijiji, ebay or Salvation Army and buy a used mountie bomber style fur hat, take it apart and get the pattern there.

Here is the only site I found.

Thanks RB, I found that site as well but it doesn't have any measurements. Youtube has a few videos that I'll look at and I have to go to Halford's today and I'll look at this pattern.

I'm not having any luck whatsoever finding a pattern to make an RCMP style hat from muskrat pets. I found commercial patterns for mountain man hats, Missouri hats and Crockett hats but no RCMP or Russian hats. Lots of hats for sale but finding a pattern to make one is a bugger.
