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.
Step 1
Place the hat on the wearer's head and determine the placement of the patch.

Step 2
Attach the patch to the hat with white glue and let the glue dry for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Thread the needle with 24 inches of thread. Place the thimble on the right hand middle finger, if right-handed, or left middle finger if left-handed.
Step 4
Turn the hat to the wrong side. Knot the thread end and push the needle through the hat and patch with the thimble-clad finger.
Step 5
Turn the hat to the right side. Sew small straight stitches around the edge of the patch.
