M&M BLUE

This pattern continues the set of M&M characters.  This is the pattern for M&M Blue.  Blue to the Peanut Butter M&M.  This series started with making M&M Red for a co-worker.  Of course, when my daughter, Amy, saw the M&M Red I was making for him, I had no choice but make the rest of the six characters.  Those patterns are coming soon.

As far as the instructions for the backstitching of the face, I can only tell you to use the picture above as a reference.
