So, i've made puppets before. But they have been monster puppets. They have just had circular faces, no snouts or anything. I made, a sort of, "glorified sock puppet" for my sisters birthday, it had a snout, but it had no foam or anything. As i said, it was just like a sock puppet, but i made it from scratch.
But now i am interested in making a proper wolf puppet, but i have no idea where to start. I normally dont use patterns, but does any one know of a free wolf puppet pattern.

I would love to build a puppet like vince, from gluvets.

I dont completely lack skill, so i know i could do it, and have him turn out good.

Can anyone help me?

Maybe these will help you start

You are welcome!

Have you worked with sheet foam yet? Is that how you made the monster puppet?  The reason I ask is that even with a snout on a puppet it often starts out with the same basic head but just get's foam added to it. The Foam Book is a good reference for building from scratch. http://www.greysealpuppets.com/FoamB.html

I've never seen any patterns for a wolf so I think you are going to have to create on your own.  That being said the Project Puppet Patterns are an excellent starting point. http://www.projectpuppet.com/ 

Yeah, i use upholstery foam though. I've never really made the base of something out of 100 percent foam, so i'm struggling a bit. But i have made animal faces for costumes with it before, however they were made using a balaclava and then slowly building up the foam.
Actually i just messed up his face, i dont really know how to make it from just foam.

I've found a monster pattern, i think i'll use that and then add a muzzle. :3

I did'nt use the monster pattern in the end. But what i did end up doing looks really good. Maybe I'll post some pictures later.

Wow! You move fast!  We didn't even have a chance to reply.  Yes... we would love to see pictures!

Yes yes!  post progress pics!

Lol, yeah i'm really fast worker. He'll probably be done by today or tomorrow. :D
I have a video uploading to youtube now. :D

This is what he looks like at the moment, you cant really see much of him though, because of the fuzziness.

Nice. Yes I was going suggest that you do a bit of shaving on him. That well definitely help define his eyes and features. Looking good thanks for sharing!

:D Thank you, he also needs a nose still...i'm not quite sure how to do that though.
