Nope. A circle mage can't use hedge magic, and such magic is maleficarum. The nature of hedge magic has changed since DA:O.
But not after Asunder and World of Thedas, I suppose. Hedge mages are apostates, but WoT and other official sources make a distinction between apostates in general and maleficarum, those who use the fobidden arts, including blood magic. It's more or less what it was said in the codex, back to DA:O.
Codex:
"Historically, apostates become such in one of two ways: They are either mages who have escaped from the Circle or mages who were never part of it to begin with. This latter category includes what we tend to refer to as "hedge mages"—those with magical ability out in the hinterlands who follow a different magical tradition than our own. Some of these hedge mages are not even aware of their nature. Undeveloped, their abilities can express themselves in a variety of ways, which the hedge mage might attribute to faith, or will, or to another being entirely (depending on his nature)."
WoT:
"Also among the rank of apostates are hedge mages, who are untrained and wield powers developed independent of standard teachings. Hedge mages have been known to possess unusual, sometimes previously unseen abilities. Often their skills may be harmless enough that they are ignored by authorities."
