"Bald" Pacifier Kid - New Home FOUND!

-
We're going to call her Christy, because that's who adopted this poor child!


Christy has a very strange hair style. She has sort of a tuft on top, plus some longish strands that might be intended as pigtails. She also has no ears - she's older than ears!



Christy, from the top:




Divided into pigtails and with ribbons - she's sort of cute, but then again...sort of weird.



Oh! Her pigtails are uneven. That's not the only problem, though.



It's time for drastic measures. She needs a wig.



Better, much better, but not great.



Maybe a commercial wig is the answer:



And a hat:




I'm just not happy with her hair. Maybe she'd be better bald - except pulling out the hair leaves the rooting pattern quite visible, and no amount of scrubbing is removing the detail.






What's that saying? "God only made a few perfect heads, the rest He covered with hair." I'm going for the HAT idea!

Kid with bad hair, front view: Kid with bad hair, back view: "Weapon" of choice - 5" bentnose needlenose pliers: Grab a double-strand of yarn - where two strands are in the same hole, and pull: and pull: and pull: Hair not on Kid any more. It makes a quite impressive pile. Note that there are still little fuzzies: A little more work to remove most of the fuzzies: Removing the zip-tie that holds the head on the body. Weapon of choice is a pair of toe-nail clippers: Remove the head from the body: Head, zip-tie, body: Removing the head plug with a screwdriver: Head (with fuzzies inside) and neck plug: Close-up of the fuzzies still inside the head. They'll be scraped out with a finger or a screwdriver: Side of head, all clean. Note the overlapping holes: Top of head, all clean. More overlapping holes: Factory mold mark on rim of head. It's at the tip of the screwdriver: Front view of head ...

how much yarn for a reroot?

That skein of "Red Heart Super Saver" yarn weighs 5 oz (141 g) and is 244 yds (223 m) long. I used its twin to re-root this cute Kid with very long, very lush double ponies with two rows of loops around her face. Each strand in the ponies is about 32" long (you'll have to do the metric yourself, sorry). I have about 45 yards of yarn left, so let's round everything and say that this darling used about 200 yards of yarn. Her ponies are longer than most and fuller than most. Usually I cut the yarn into strands that are about half the size of the ones you see in this picture. Your mileage (oops, yardage) may vary. All done, dressed in wild clothing: ...and break-dancing on the floor!
