refered to as a Ushanka). These hats have flaps that tie above the
head, but can be untied and flipped down to cover your earrs/back of
hear. Pictures can be seen here:

I would like to be able to find a pattern that can be used to make a
Russian fur hat, preferable with instructions but not required. Would
prefer a free downloadable one, but would be willing to purchase.
