6.0 - Patterns/Patternmaking
===========================
This is the most important part of any fursuit, as it makes or breaks the illusion of what you're trying to present. It can be as simple as a one-piece jumper, to something formfitting, to just using your own clothes as part of the suit. It's not unusual to watch people use bodypaint in addition to other parts.

[Maintainer's note: I cannot keep up with all the new additions and discontinuations. Thus, I rely on other people to help out on this. If you know of a pattern that is new or discontinued, please let me know.]

6.1 - Burda
============
2566 - Hooded cape

6.2 - Butterick
===============
5724 - Godzilla/dinosaur

6866 - rabbit

3084 - Hooded cape

6.3 - The Green Pepper (found at JoAnn fabrics)
===========================================

2108 - Misses' Catsuits (discontinued?)
This makes three different catsuits, one with a hood, and two with mock turtleneck, with back or front zip.

2326 - Accessories (gloves, hat, cuffs, jabot, and shawl)
This particular pattern uses 5 pieces for the gloves. One large piece for the fingers all the way down to the arm, three for between the fingers, and one for the thumb. This might be excessive to some, but if you're patient enough, you can make this.

2335 - Men's Wetsuit
2336/2337 - Unisex Boys' and Girls' Wetskin & UV Swimsuit
(2336 fits sizes 4-5-6-7, 2337 fits 8-10-12-14)
This makes a long and short leg/sleeve wetsuit, for use with under wetsuits, though this can be used to make a formfitting suit. One difference with this sort of pattern is that the sleeves do not end at the shoulder, rather, they go up higher, raglan-style or set-in, all the way to the neck. The lower part of the sleeve ends at the armpit, while the top part goes all the way to the neck.

2527 - Hats and Socks (adults and childrens sizes)
Just what it describes. Makes a twisted 3-peak hat, fold-up cuff, double layer headband, hood that covers head and neck with eye openings, stocking cap, and single-layer socks.

3052 - Misses' Unitards
Of the three it creates, one is a unitard with a stand-up collar, a front zipper extending into the collar, and full length sleeves.

6.5 - McCalls
===============
4139 - capes

9452 - Hooded cape

7825/7833 - Cowardly Lion - adult and kids version - discontinued?

6.7 - Stretch & Sew
===================
309 - Catsuits and Bodysuits (discontinued?)

6.8 - Vogue
============
7949 - Makes wrist, elbow, shoulder, and gauntlet gloves.

6.99 - Homemade Patterns
==========================
Let's face it... Not everyone wants to buy a commercially-available pattern for their fursuits or other items. Sometimes they'll just wing it in the hope that it'll turn out perfectly, and it does at times. Jersey work gloves and garden gloves can be taken apart quite easily and used as a pattern. You may have to measure your own fingers to get the fit right.
