Step by Step Pilgrim Hat Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Start with the Belt Buckle
Begin by drawing a small square buckle near the bottom center of your page. Add another smaller rectangle inside to show the belt frame.
Step 2 – Draw the Hat Shape
From both sides of the buckle, draw two slanted lines going up and outward to form the tall part of the hat. Connect the top with a slightly curved line.
Step 3 – Add the Top Oval
On top of the hat, draw a thin oval to create the top opening. This gives the hat a more 3D look.
Step 4 – Complete the Belt
Add two short lines on each side of the buckle, curving slightly downward to complete the belt that wraps around the hat.
Step 5 – Draw the Brim
At the bottom of the hat, draw a large, flat oval that sticks out on both sides. This is the wide brim of the pilgrim hat.
Step 6 – Add a Cute Face
To make your pilgrim hat extra fun, draw two little eyes and a smile right above the buckle. It’s a happy hat for a happy holiday!
