Put something on yourself

Hello,

I was wondering if we could say : I put my hat on myself. Meaning that I can do it on my own.
I don't find a good way to say that, I also tried : I put myself my hat on.
Is that better?
I was also thinking about saying : I put on my hat myself.
Well, you see my point now I'm sure, I can't come up with a good sounding adverbs placements.
Thank you for your help.

Cedric.

Hi, I was wondering if we could say : I put my hat on myself. Meaning that I can do it on my own Sounds OK to me as casual spoken English. We also often say 'by myself', meaning without assistance.

Hi Clive,
Thank you for your fast answer.
I think I can then usually add "by myself" or "without assistance" at the end to give that detail.
Thank you again
