My introduction to pattern making was from sheet 
metal work, so I am used to the mathematical 
approach.  But, the beach ball is a great idea 
already mentioned.  I would normally start from 
an existing pattern like that and then manually 
modify the pattern. But, that is now that I have 
more experience and can visualize what is 
needed.  Earlier in my career, I would have done it by math.

I will write it up, and post it to the Puppet 
Wiki mentioned a short while ago.  I may have it finished tonight.
