Actually my wife went to beautician school and one of her achievements was to weave a hat made directly from the hair on the mannequin's head. Altho it wasn't done in the BL technique <G> But probably similar half stitch ground if I remember the way she described it. Was a popular 70s/80s hair weave trend.
We got the idea from a pic from a hairdressing website(sorry, don't recall which one) and the back of the head was woven like that, which sparked the idea. Except in the original photo the hairdresser twisted the hair before weaving and we wanted the strands gelled and flat to look more like a basket weave. Unfortunately we don't have good photos of her hair completed. The humidity did a number on her curls as we were working with them and flopped all over. Didn't happen that way when we did a run thru/dress rehearsal on her hair a week before. Had to use the hair cement to tame those curls! So the weave on the back of the head kind of hid some :( A bit dissappointed, but was still fun to do ;) But oh the possibilities!
