Big Green Felt Hat for Dean

“This hat is The Bomb! It has totally revolutionized my relationship with winter!”

So said Dean Christian, the Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach at Dartmouth College when I delivered his custom embroidered felt hat last month.

Dean moved to Hanover from Texas last summer, and quickly became interested in the warm hats I make while checking ids at the Dartmouth gym.

After assuring him that men do wear my hats, and agreeing to attempt a new freehand embroidery design in the form of the Dartmouth “D”, I set to work.

Assistant Men's Basketball Coach at Dartmouth College, in Hanover, New Hampshire, Dean Christian is psyched abouth his toasty new felt hat, with custom Dartmouth embroidery worked freehand by fiber artist, Carrie Cahill Mulligan, of Canaan, New Hampshire.

“I had no idea how cruddy my old hat was, until I put this one on…”

Hat of the Week: Last Hat of 2007 (#175)

Knitted felt hat #175 of 2007 by felt fiber artist, Carrie Cahill Mulligan of Canaan, New Hampshire. Ribbon embroidery worked freehand.


(Drumroll, please…) Here it is! The final hat (#175) in my 2007 Collection.

Finished with custom, freehand embroidery last night, and sent in today’s mail, this pink-on-pink beauty is now heading to Christine S. of New York City.

I sure hope this warm felt hat gets to Chris in time for Valentine’s Day. We’ve had some cold, snowy weather here in the Northeast, lately…
