The Duo Vulpin pattern is a pointed nose foam head pattern with two variations for a head cover.  In fleece, the pointed nose in the first variation can read as a human nose.  In the 2nd and 3rd variations, the stripe front face can be used to create animal characters.  It’s compatible with the torsos in the Shape Library series here on Live Action Puppets.  The pig puppet sample is made with the Duo Vulpin pattern with some modifications.  I chopped off the tip of the nose in the foam understructure, and add a hand carved pig nose foam shape.  I then draped the foam head with the included head cover pattern cut from an old t-shirt.  I used the knit t-shirt piece to drape the foam head to determine where to remove material in the pattern to surround the added nose.  The nose tip was then draped in t-shirt knit to draft a new nose pattern to connect to the modified head cover pattern.  While this variation is NOT included with your pattern, it illustrates how a modification can create a new character out of a simple pattern. To see how I made the modification, read my blog post here: https://www.lapuppets.com/youll-be-charmed-by-phil-vischers-book-sidney-and-norman/?preview_id=3251&preview_nonce=803cd353b1&preview=true&_thumbnail_id=3252
