Wide Brim Santa Hat SVG

About this design

Some Santa hats are all crown; this one is all brim. A wide, smooth cream band runs across the bottom, taking up nearly half the design, and the red crown above flops over to the right. The pom-pom hangs down on the left side on a short drop. The clean lines and big shapes give it a modern, graphic look.

The hat is one connected piece with two cut-outs: the large brim area and the pom-pom. In the layered version, both show the cream backing. It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Backing in cream, which forms the brim and pom-pom
• Design in red, with those areas cut out

Where the wide brim shines

• Name on the brim. The big band is perfect for a short name or word.
• Treat bucket labels with a child’s name on the brim.
• Kids’ shirts with the hat across the chest.
• Stocking cuffs that echo the brim.
• Holiday cards with the greeting on the band.
• Cupcake toppers in glitter cardstock.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches wide. If you add a name to the brim, size the hat so the brim is at least 1 inch tall, and use a bold font for the name so it cuts cleanly.

Step by step: name-on-the-brim stocking tag

1. Set the hat to 6 inches wide and download the color SVG.
2. In your cutting software, type a name in a bold script and fit it on the brim.
3. Cut the red crown and the cream backing from felt or cardstock.
4. Cut the name from red or green iron-on vinyl and press it onto the cream brim.
5. Assemble the layers and stitch or glue the tag to a stocking.

Color ideas

• Red crown and white brim, the classic
• Green crown and white brim for an elf hat
• Buffalo plaid crown with a cream brim for a cabin look
• Gold glitter crown for a party topper

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor so the crown flops to the left.
• Add a white offset border in the editor for a sticker.

Good to know

The wide brim makes this hat a little shorter than most. When you use it to “top” a photo or a letter, overlap the brim with the subject so the crown sits at a natural angle.

Pairs well with

The Fuzzy Trim Santa Hat has a shaggy brim instead, and the Slouchy Santa Hat offers a softer shape.
