Today, the “crochet iconic character plushies” series is getting another COOL plush character, and I am more than excited for it! Because it is my favorite crochet blue speedy hedgehog character plushie you can crochet with a step-by-step tutorial + a written pattern as well. Introducing the crochet no-sew Sonic plushie that just measures 9cm and is based on the same sitting desk buddy plushie base that you are using over and over in the previous crochet character plushies. Thanks for showing your love for the winter blue character plushie.
Today, we are crocheting this little sitting Sonic – the blue hedgehog plushie from the bottom up. By crocheting this blue hedgehog plushie, you will learn many clever techniques such as how to crochet the hairs directly onto the finished desk buddy Sonic, color changes, and the bobble stitch.
Note that I have already taught you how to crochet the Pikachu plushie, and you can pair it with this crochet Sonic plushie. Be sure to gift one to a gamer as a gaming table buddy. I would also recommend crocheting this Sonic plushie as a Halloween cosplay present. You can also take a look at other of our crochet character plushies such as the princess, deer character, and more. Soon, I am planning to bring more than 4 more crochet character plushies. So, be sure to follow me. For now, continue reading to learn how oc rochet this Sonic plush toy.

Pattern to Crochet the Full No-Sew Super Sonic Plushie
This crochet project is a small Sonic the Hedgehog plush toy. You crochet the body and head in one piece starting from the bottom and working your way up. You make the tail, feet, and hands directly as you crochet around the body. You use blue, beige, white, and red yarn to make the different parts of Sonic.
You crochet small blue spikes and beige ears separately and sew them onto the head. You insert safety eyes into the head and use embroidery thread to make the mouth and eyebrows. The finished toy is a small size, making it a fast project to use as a keychain or plush charm.
