Maria Hat
Extract from HatHeads: 1 Man + 2 Knitting Needles = 50 Fun Hat Designs • By Trond Anfinnsen • Published by Potter CraftAbout
Maria Hat from Hats On Head.
Maria is a colorful person, both inside and out. She is probably the dandiest hairdresser in southern Norway. Together with a friend, she runs a salon that feels more suited to London or New York than the little town of Sandnes where she lives.
Maris has strong opinions, as well as a sharp, quick tongue; having discussions with her can be lots of fun because you have to keep on your toes. Maria loves to dress in bright colors, so for her hat, I used red for her passionate nature, and pink for her dandiness.

I've already seen that on some hat pattern, it's for having a well tight edge.
