M&M crochet circle

[wenfri]

First off I have been trying to check for any copyright issues and can find none.

 

I am attempting to crochet a sweater for a 4 year old grandson. He wants M&Ms on it.

 

I have attempted several times to make my own pattern and failed miserably

 

Do I need to upload a picture elsewhere before I can post it here??

 

Started with a standard circle and increased stitches as I went around.

 

Want the M in the middle of the circle then I want to square it off so I can join them together.

 

Circle keeps cupping, or turn into an octagon, hexagon or something weird.  Even with allowing for sc around after 3 rounds of increase.

 

Began the usual way with 6 sc in circle then 12 sc  and increases as I went

 

Going bonkers here and getting frustrated.

Why not make a sweater, then make the circles and applique them to the sweater? I think that would be simpler than making circle-to-square pieces and joining them.

I thought of that as well but grandson doesn't agree. Found a pic of it and he is not impressed

 

Thanks though

I have a small M&M jacket that looks like the 1st pic

 

I want to use the 2nd pic with various colours
