Hasse Simonsdochter was born in a mound village in the IJssel delta as the eldest daughter of a reed cutter / basket weaver. Because Hasse was a free-spirited, cheerful child, she was believed to be a "changeling". The story tells that reed elves steal human children from the cradle and exchange them for an elf child. This is the story about the making of the shawl 'Hasse simonsdochter'.
