Snowflake Band Santa Hat SVG

About this design

This Santa hat dresses its brim for winter. The red hat rises tall with a round pom-pom at the tip, and along the bottom, a fluffy brim carries a row of small snowflakes. In the layered version the snowflakes stand out against the cream fur, so the hat looks hand-knitted for a snowy night.

The design is made of seven pieces with one small cut-out. The snowflakes are separate pieces sitting on the brim, so keep them together on transfer tape when you apply the design. It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Backing in cream, which forms the brim
• Design in red, including the hat and the snowflakes

• Winter wedding favors.

Size and cutting tips

The design passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide, but the snowflakes are small pieces. For layered vinyl, choose 5 inches or wider so the snowflakes are easy to place. For iron-on on knits, use a stretch vinyl and a pressing cloth.

Step by step: snowflake mug

1. Set the design to 4 inches wide and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the backing from white vinyl and the design from red vinyl.
3. Recut the snowflakes from silver glitter vinyl if you want them to sparkle.
4. Apply the white backing, then the red hat, then the silver snowflakes on the brim.
5. Let it cure for three days before hand washing.

Color ideas

• Red hat with silver snowflakes on a white brim
• Navy hat with white snowflakes on an ice-blue brim
• Green hat with gold snowflakes for a festive twist

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor so the pom-pom hangs to the other side.
• Use the editor to place it on a hexagon background for a winter badge.

Good to know

Small separate pieces like the snowflakes can shift on curved items. Burnish the transfer tape over the snowflakes first, then smooth the rest of the hat outward from there.

Design notes

The snowflakes sit within the brim, so the overall outline of the hat stays smooth and simple.

Pairs well with

The Classic Santa Hat is the plain version, and the Let It Snow lettering continues the winter theme.
