Switch Things Up

I have always had a massive soft spot for Siamese cats, with their elegant cream coats and those gorgeous, deep blue eyes. When I sat down to design Toby, I really wanted to capture that classic, sophisticated look but in a super huggable, pocket-sized form. The face mask can feel a little intimidating with the frequent color changes, but my biggest tip is to just relax your tension slightly during those transitions so the fabric doesn't bunch up.

If you want to customize your kitty, why not try playing around with different colorways? You could easily turn Toby into an adorable ragdoll cat by using fluffy textured yarn, or even a sleek black cat by swapping out the cream for a deep charcoal grey. I also had so much fun making his little ruffled collar! You could make a few collars in different seasonal shades—like orange and black for autumn, or green and red for Christmas—so your little companion is always dressed for the occasion. I can't wait to see how you make him your own!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ If you don't use invisible decreases on the head, the brown muzzle section can show gaps where the white stuffing peeks through.✗ When crocheting the legs, make sure you don't twist the chain 10 loops, or your cat's legs will stand at awkward, crooked angles.✗ The color changes on the head must be done on the very last loop of the previous stitch to keep the color lines clean and sharp.✗ Sewing the stomach piece requires careful alignment; if you don't pin it first, the body can end up lopsided and won't stand flat.

Assembly Instructions

  • Position the stuffed ears on the head between Rounds 4 and 11, aligning them symmetrically, and sew them securely in place.
  • Stuff the main body and the legs firmly through the leg and stomach openings before closing them up.
  • Line up the stomach panel with the inner leg edges and sew it in place using the 50cm cream yarn tail, adding final stuffing before completing the seam.
  • Sew the stuffed tail to the back of the body, centering it beautifully between Rounds 1 and 5.
  • Fasten the decorative ruffled collar around the neck, securing it with the small wooden button and attaching the little bell to the front.

Important Notes

  • 💡Always use an invisible decrease stitch when working the head and body to prevent stuffing from showing through.
  • 💡To get the cleanest color changes on the face and ears, pull the new color through the last two loops of the previous stitch.
  • 💡Make sure to stuff the legs firmly all the way to the tips so your Siamese cat stands upright without wobbling.
  • 💡Pin all pieces (ears, tail, stomach) in place before sewing to ensure perfect symmetry and alignment.

FAQs

What yarn weight is recommended for Toby?

This pattern is written for sport weight yarn (like YarnArt Jeans). If you switch to worsted weight, your cat will turn out slightly larger, and you'll need to scale up your safety eyes to 12mm.

How do I make clean color changes on the face?

To keep the lines sharp, complete the final yarn-over of the stitch before a color change using the new color. This prevents the colors from bleeding into the next stitch.

My cat won't stand up straight. What went wrong?

This is usually due to understuffing the legs or attaching the stomach panel slightly off-center. Make sure you pack the legs firmly with fiberfill and pin the stomach piece symmetrically before sewing.

Can I make this project without safety eyes?

Absolutely! You can easily embroider the eyes using black and blue embroidery floss, which is actually a much safer option if you are gifting this toy to a baby or toddler.
