M&M RED (LARGE VERSION)

This is a pattern for the beloved M&M Red. 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 to make the rest of the six characters. Those patterns are coming soon.

MATERIALS:
Worsted weight yarn: Red, white, and black.
D crochet hook
Polyester fiberfill
Tapestry needle
