Yes, almost correct. The fact is, are pickles only under vinegar? If so,
then "cappello di sottaceto" or "cappello da sottaceto" or "cappello a
(forma di) sottaceto" would be perfect. But if pickles can be made with oil,
also, than one would have to choose between "cappello a sottolio" and
"cappello a sottaceto"... Who knows? Anyway, almost all of the pickle hats I
saw (in pictures, obviously) were cucumber shaped, so one could call them
"cappello a certiolo" (cucumber shaped hat).
