Sonic Perler Beads (30+ Free Patterns)

Get over 30 patterns for Sonic perler beads! There are a variety of characters and symbols from this best selling Sega video game, including Tails, Knuckles, and more.

So I’ll be honest, I don’t know that much about the history of video games. I’m in my 40s so I remember them coming about in the 1980s, of course. But the details are fuzzy.

I have four younger brothers and our first system was a classic Nintendo system, with Super Mario Brothers definitely being our best-loved game. It was everyone’s favorite, right?

Well, we played that game for a few years along with other Nintendo classics. Then in 1989, the Sega Genesis came along. My family definitely needed another gaming system (duh), so in the early 90s when the holidays rolled around . . . there was the Genesis under the Christmas tree.

I’m sure my father and brothers did ALL the research on the Sega system. I’m one of those people that’s like, okay how about you learn this first and then teach me. Or I just jump in.

What I didn’t know that Sonic the Hedgehog, released in 1991 and my family’s first Sega game, was created as a competitor to Mario Brothers! And sure enough, it totally took over our house. I had no idea it would be so . . . fun.

Bye bye, Mario and Luigi. Arrivederci, if you will.

I played hours and hours of Sonic, and beat the game more than a few times. I never got tired of it. How can you get tired of of a cool blue hedgehog who can flip and collect emeralds?

Since that time, the franchise has been made into more games, and movies, and merch. We were all obsessed I guess!

Anyhoo, if you’re here for the Sonic perler bead patterns, I’m excited to share over 40 with you. And they’re not just for Sonic. You’ll get patterns for Tails, Knuckles, Dr. Eggman, Amy Rose, Scourge, Super Sonic, Shadow, and more.

My niece and I had a great time doing these together. And if you have a request we’d love to hear in the comments. We’re always making new patterns!

Just so you know, officially perler beads are recommended for ages six and up. So far every kid I’ve met loves perler beads (also known as hama beads, fuse beads, or melty beads). I think you’ll have a great time doing this with kids . . . or for yourself!

Sonic Hama Beads

Here are just a few things to keep in mind:

Several of these patterns are larger than a 29 x 29 pegboard, so you’ll either need a extra large pegboard (49 x 69 tall) or to put multiple square peg boards together to form a larger “canvas.”
You’ll see a couple of the pattern backgrounds below aren’t white – that’s simply to give contrast so you can see where all the white beads should go. You don’t need to add the background (but you can if you want to).
Don’t stick to my colors necessarily. Customize with your favorite color beads. Some people prefer dark blue for Sonic while others prefer cobalt. It’s up to you.
I typically start with easier, smaller patterns in my list and then move on to the more difficult ones. If you’re looking for something a bit more advanced, just keep scrolling!
