... You can add a patch to a hat with hand stitching.

Some dexterity with a needle and thread is all that you need to sew a patch on a hat. Patches, signifying schools, locations or emblems will look off-kilter if sewn on crooked, so pay careful attention to the initial placement. Use a fine quilting needle and a thimble for the sturdy patches. The right patch can add a touch of class or originality to any knit or fabric hat.
