This fun and playful Sonic the Hedgehog-inspired knitting pattern is perfect for kids who love the iconic blue speedster; perfect for a costume party or convention! This pattern creates a child-sized hat complete with Sonic’s signature ears and spikes, knit and assembled with polyfil stuffing for shape. The pattern can be easily adapted to fit an adult’s head.

The pattern uses worsted-weight acrylic yarn, worked in the round, with simple shaping techniques and added flat-knit elements for the ears and spikes. Great for intermediate knitters or adventurous beginners looking to try new construction methods.

Instructions include guidance for earflaps and braided ties, making this both cute and functional for colder months. Easily customizable for larger sizes with added stitches and length.

Every purchase supports my work as an indie designer living with an invisible illness. Thank you for helping me thrive and share my love of knitting and character design!
