How to Draw a Knit Hat
Draw a knit hat in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the crown.
Step 1: The crown
Start low on the left and draw a big dome over to the right. Join the ends with a curve.
Step 2: 2 big eyes
On the crown draw 2 big egg eyes side by side, almost touching. Colour a big black dot in each.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a U smile from eye to eye. Add an oval cheek below and outside each eye.
Step 4: The folded cuff
Across the bottom of the hat draw a wide band with a flat bottom, a little wider than the hat.
Step 5: The pompom
On top of the hat draw a fluffy pompom with soft bumps all round. Rub out the line inside.
Step 6: Ribs on the cuff
On the cuff draw a row of short straight lines from the top edge to the bottom edge, evenly spaced.
Step 7: Sparkles and a table
Draw a sparkle star off each side of the hat. Draw a table line under the cuff, left to right.
Step 8: Yellow sparkles
Colour both sparkles yellow.
Step 9: Cream cuff and pompom
Colour the cuff and the pompom cream, and the cheeks pink.
Step 10: Red hat
Go over your lines, then colour the crown red, going around the eyes and cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
