Pattern and Tutorial: Fursuit Plantigrade Footpaws

This pattern makes a comfortable set of plantigrade footpaws for your costume! What is “plantigrade?” it describes a form of locomotion for an animal, but it is also the physical appearance of what these feet look like. It essentially means the feet of a creature that walks on its full foot, from the toes to the heel, on the ground.

It includes a detailed tutorial for making and sewing the footpaws and liner with step-by-step instructions. Tutorial text is written in English. The pattern itself is designed to be printed. Included is letter-sized (8.5x11 inch) and a4-sized (210x297 mm) formatted PDFs for printing.
