In the lower area of the semicircle, use a black pencil to draw a thick arc convex downwards.
Fix the pencil in the lower left area of the arc and draw a straight line (5 cm long) directed to the left at an angle of 45° relative to the vertical of the drawing.
Fix the pencil in the lower right area of the arc and draw a straight line (5 cm long) directed to the right at an angle of 45° in relation to the vertical of the drawing.
Fix the pencil at the end point of the left line and draw a wavy arc until it connects to the right end point of the right line. The result will be the peak of the hat.

Hat with a bow

To draw this hat you will need colored pencils or markers.

The sequence of actions for drawing it is as follows:

Draw a trapezoid at an angle of 45° to the vertical of the drawing. The dimensions of the trapezoid should be as follows: the length of the lower base is 5 cm, the length of the upper base is 4 cm, the height is 2 cm.
Erase the top corners of the trapezoid and round them off.
Fix the pencil in the lower left corner of the trapezoid and draw a convex arc downwards, which should connect with the lower right corner of the trapezoid. Then erase the lower base of the trapezoid with an eraser.
Draw a small arc, convex downwards, under the top line of the hat outline.
At a distance of 0.5 cm above the lower area of the hat, draw a line parallel to it. The result will be the rim of the hat.
In the left area of the rim, draw a knot in the form of a curved ring.
To the left of the knot, draw a trapezoid stretched to the left, located at an angle of 45° to the vertical of the drawing. The left area of the trapezoid should be wider than its right area. In the lower area of this trapezoid, draw a narrow oval and fill it with black.
To the right of the knot, draw a trapezoid stretched to the right, positioned at an angle of 45° to the vertical of the drawing. The right area of the trapezoid should be wider than its left area. In the lower area of this trapezoid, draw a narrow oval and fill it with black. The result will be a bow.
Place the pencil just below the middle of the left area of the hat and draw the visor of the hat in the form of an elongated oval, the outline of which should connect with the right area of the hat.
Place the pencil in the lower area of the bow knot and draw a line perpendicular to the outline of the visor. After this line reaches the outline of the visor, it is necessary to continue drawing it down a few centimeters. Then it is necessary to draw exactly the same parallel line at a distance of 0.3 cm from the previous line. Then it is necessary to connect these two lines at the bottom with a corner concave inward. As a result, the first hat band will be obtained.
Draw a similar second hat band next to the first one.
Fill the hat with yellow. The top and right areas of the hat should be filled with a more saturated color.
Fill the headband, bow and two ribbons with blue.
