That is a good pattern,I have used it before. Minimal cutting and sewing.Better to make the pattern a bit bigger than cut it too small.You can cut and sew a few darts around the bottom of the hat if its a bit loose,not much you can do if its too tight.

I plan on tanning my own beaver hide with the stuff in the orange bottle I was looking at the instructions, and it didn't say to stretch the hide like you normally do is that correct or was I reading it wrong.

If you do not stretch and break the hide it will be stiff and hard as a board.I would not use the orange bottle tan for something I was wanting to make something out of. What would you use for tanning then?

Who is this Boco guy?
Is he Sue's new main squeeze on Life Below Zero? grin
Yuck! That woman is gross. Alone in the northern wilds trapping beaver day after day week after week....She might start looking good to a lonely canuck. She does have nice toys, can kinda hunt. But that constant talking in the third person she does...
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!
