Title: knee high moccasin pattern
Post by: tattoo dave on December 05, 2010, 11:29:53 am

Hi all. I'm new here, but long time fan of PA magazine and fairly new bowyer. I've been trying to find a pattern for some knee-high moccasins. Anybody here have a good pattern, so I don't have to order one and wait a week for delivery?

Here is a link to a thread I found several years ago. I did the knee high wrap around and really like them. Hope it helps.

Hi,
I could help with patterns from a book "Craft Manual of North American Indian footwear". May be you get it in the USA, cause its American. ISBN No.: 1-884693-00-8. Or I could make copies of 1:1 pattern for Apache boots.
Let me know!
Regards Uwe

 Wade, " intoeverything", had a build-along on here a while back for his Bison, knee high moc's that Pappy has.

thanks eddie,

actually that build along on PP posted above is what I used to make my pattern.
I just had to increase the cut over size as I was using Buffalo and it didn't stretch much.
Questions you can PM me.
later
wade
