Rapunzel and Tower

Rapunzel and Tower by Lynne Rowe (pattern featured in issue 67 of Inside Crochet magazine)

One day a Prince rode through the forest and found the tower in which Rapunzel was locked. The Prince stood at the bottom of the tower and called, “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your golden hair!”
