Here it is: my first pattern! Rapunzel is 4.5 inches tall (including the hat) and would make an excellent gift for the little princess in your life! Since she is done on an incredibly small scale, you may want to use a slightly larger hook than I did. Have fun with this pattern!
Materials:
Size 3.5mm hook
Worsted weight yarn in pink, purple, white, and yellow
6mm safety eyes (embroider eyes instead if giving to a child under the age of 3)
Polyester fibrefill
Small amount of red embroidery floss (Black as well if you are embroidering eyes)
NOTE: All of my patterns are worked in a continuous spiral without joining. To keep track of where your rows begin and end, use a marker such as a small safety pin.

Hair
What's Rapunzel without all that beautiful hair? Wrap yellow yarn around an object about 8 inches long (for example: a book or a piece of cardboard) 30 times or so. cut it down the middle on one side so that you have a bunch of long strands, twice the length of your object. Separate these strands into 3 or 4 sections and tie the strands together. Sew the sections onto the head, and braid the hair or leave it down. It's up to you!
Hat

4: 2 sc in each st around. (8)
5-6: as rnd 2 (8)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Stuff and sew to head. For the tassel coming off the hat, just make a cord of chain stitches and sew it to the op in the middle of the cord
