M&M YELLOW

This is a pattern for the beloved M&M Yellow, Red’s dimwitted sidekick.  This was something that I have been looking to make for about a year now.  I kept back-burnering it.  What got me out of that is a request from my 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.

Unlike Red, Yellow’s body is done in continuous rounds unless stated otherwise and looks like an egg.  As far as the instructions for the backstitching of the face, I can only tell you to use the picture above as a reference.
