Product Description
„Ist denn schon wieder Ostern?“, fragte sich Hubert und rieb sich müde die Ohren. Das Hello-Huhn hatte ihn geweckt mit seinem Gegacker. Wo waren denn nur die Farben abgeblieben? Sicher wieder beim Schäfchen, das neuerdings unbedingt seine Wolle anpinseln musste. Mal schauen, was es noch so in ihrem Restekörbchen versteckt hat. Zumindest ein hübsches Schleifchen hatte Hubert schon einmal gefunden. Auf geht’s…fröhlich hoppelte Hubert von dannen und machte sich auf, dem Schäfchen die Pinsel zu klauen. ********************************************* Wake up call…
“Is it Easter again yet?”, Hubert asked himself and rubbed his ears wearily. The Hello Chicken had woken him up with his cackling. Where had the colours gone? Certainly again with the sheep, who recently had to brush his wool. Let’s see what it still hides in her scrap basket. Hubert had already found at least one pretty bow. Let’s go … Hubert hopped happily away and set out to steal the brushes from the sheeps shed.
Hubert Hasenohr Knitted Toy
What is Being Made
Hubert Hasenohr is a charming knitted toy rabbit designed by N.kaBia. This small, whimsical stuffed animal is inspired by a delightful narrative about a curious rabbit named Hubert who wakes up on Easter morning. The finished toy measures approximately 5–10 cm in height depending on the yarn weight used, making it an ideal small gift, decoration, or addition to a toy collection. The design captures a playful character perfect for Easter-themed crafting or year-round toy making.
Techniques Used
This knitting project employs fundamental techniques suitable for beginner-level crafters. The toy is constructed using the in-the-round knitting method, worked on double pointed needles to create a seamless, tubular fabric. The pattern incorporates strategic decreasing techniques to shape the body and create the characteristic tapered form of a rabbit. Stuffing is added during construction to create a three-dimensional, plush toy. The design demonstrates how simple shaping through decreases can transform a basic tube into a recognizable animal form.
Stitches Used
The primary stitch throughout the Hubert Hasenohr pattern is stockinette stitch, which creates a smooth, classic knitted fabric ideal for toys. The pattern uses knit-together decreases (knitting two stitches together) strategically placed on each needle to gradually reduce the stitch count and shape the rabbit's body. These decreases are worked at regular intervals—every few rounds—to create a gentle, even taper. The combination of stockinette stitch with simple decreases makes this an excellent beginner project for learning basic shaping.
Materials and Tools
This downloadable PDF pattern requires minimal materials, making it an economical and accessible project. Crafters will need 20 grams of 4-ply wool yarn, which is a lightweight yarn weight ideal for small, detailed projects. Additional materials include fiberfill stuffing for filling the completed toy to create a soft, plush texture, satin ribbon for decorative details (such as the bow mentioned in the pattern narrative), and a sewing needle for attaching embellishments and closing seams. The pattern specifies using double pointed needles that match the weight of the 4-ply yarn, allowing for seamless in-the-round construction. The modest yardage requirement and simple material list make Hubert Hasenohr an ideal stash-busting project.
Pattern Overview
The construction begins with casting on 30 stitches divided evenly across three double pointed needles (10 stitches per needle) and joining to work in the round. The body is worked in stockinette stitch with periodic decreases that reduce the stitch count by one stitch per needle every few rounds, gradually shaping the toy. This straightforward approach demonstrates how basic decreasing creates three-dimensional form in toy knitting. The pattern is ideal for beginners seeking to develop skills in circular knitting, stitch manipulation, and toy construction.
