Siam the Thai Cat
Siam the Thai Cat is Elegant, loyal and curious. Did you know that Siamese cats originated from Thailand (previously known as Siam)?
A Siamese cat seemed the perfect addition to my #amigurumiworldfriends collection. A little bit different and a little bit unique. I hope you love Siam’s glowing blue eyes and her flowing sabai as much as I do.
The yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of the finished item. My Siam the Thai Cat is approximately 24cm tall (9 ½ inches).

2.75mm hook/C-2 (US)
8ply yarns/DK or Light Worsted

sl st = slip stitch

(..) = repeat the space in brackets the given number of times

Notes:
A yarn with no stretch is best for amigurumi, I ordinarily use cotton or cotton blend.
Amigurumi is usually stitched in the round (unless it says otherwise).
I crochet loosely and use a 2.75mm hook with 8ply yarn. Generally, the hook you use for amigurumi will be a smaller than for other crochet as you want the stitches tight.
To change colours, yarn over on the stitch prior with the new colour to ensure you have that colour on the hook for the stitch you need it for.
For this pattern, the following yarns were used:
o BEIGE = Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in Col. 408 Vanilla Cream
o BROWN = Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in Col. 411 Coffee Bean
o BLUE = Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in Col. 433 Washed Teal
o BLACK = Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in Col. 402 Pure Black
o PINK = Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in Col. 454 Blush Pink
I have used crocheted the eyes for this pattern but you may use safety eyes or embroidery. Please ensure that there are no loose fittings.
