# Knitted Wigs Meg Reardon's DIY Style Statement Signals the End of Bad Hair Days By Katie Cordrey | Published 2009-02-20 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyi-style-statement-meg-reardons-knit-hallowig-means-no-bad-hair-days References: [knitty](http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall04/PATThallowig.html) & [organizedknitter](http://www.organizedknitter.com/) Seattle knitter Megan Reardon is a creative force. She loves to design. So, when faced with an abundance of cheap, colorful yarn, she got an idea: She’d make a wig! Though the designer thinks about and is inspired by Halloween all year long, this attractive bright pink faux-hairdo seems a bit too practical for a single holiday. Why not use it as a cap in cool weather? Or a rescue strategy for a bad hair day? Knitting instructions for this are available on the knitty website. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Knitted Wigs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating and marketing knitted wigs as a practical and fashionable alternative to traditional wigs. - **DIY Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Promoting the trend of DIY fashion, where individuals can create their own unique clothing and accessories. - **Upcycling Yarn:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing innovative ways to upcycle yarn, such as using it to create wigs or other creative and practical items. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing knitted wigs as a new product category within the fashion industry. - **Crafts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expanding the market for DIY crafts by promoting innovative projects like knitted wigs. - **Textiles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Finding new applications for yarn and exploring sustainable practices in the textiles industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Premium Hyper-Realistic Wigs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-renatural.md) - [Glueless Medical Wigs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medical-wig.md) - [Convenient Wig Styling Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wig-styling.md) - [Hair-Reusing Fabric Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dutch-startup.md) - [Human Hair-Made Prosthetic Nipples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prosthetic-nipples.md) - [Arty Knitwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear.md) - [Avant-Garde Radish Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radish-hat.md) - [Human Hair-Made Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/range-of-pots.md) - [Virtual Wig Try-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genai-experience.md)
