Rapunzel is a longer version of Cinderella. The only difference is a longer lower body, a different hem and an optional belt. It has a slightly oversized fit with a wide body and fitted sleeves. It is designed to be worn open, but the pattern also comes with instructions on how to make a belt and add hip shaping so that you can wear it closed. The lace stitch pattern is beginner friendly. The sample is worked with two strands of mohair lace yarn held together with a strand of heavy lace weight yarn; it can also be worked with a single strand of bulky weight yarn.

Measurements are given in both centimeters and inches.
