Pattern

Hello! My name is Siam.
I want to tell you a legend called The Golden Goblet
Once upon a time in the ancient kingdom of Siam (the
story goes) there came a period of war when the men of
the realm all went off to defend their country. They left
behind a male and a female cat to guard a sacred golden
goblet that had once been used by the Buddha.
After a romantic few days, doing as cats do when left
to their own devices, the male, bored of his guard
duties, wandered off to look for further pleasures.
The female, now pregnant, was left alone to guard the
goblet. Overwhelmed with this responsibility, she wrapped her tail
around its stem and fixed her eyes on it, never to let it out of her sight.
She waited and stared, waited and stared, and hoped that the men would
return before her kittens were due.
With all the staring her eyes developed a squint, and
her tail became permanently bent from holding on
to the goblet stem. The men did not return, and
eventually, of course, the kittens could wait no
longer.
They were finally born
and all of them had inherited her crossed eyes and kinked tail.
And to this very day, there are still some Siamese cats born with crossed
eyes and kinked tails!
This pattern is easy to follow with
step-by-step instructions.

About this pattern
Happy
crocheting!
I use USA terminology for my
pattern (dont worry if you use
UK terms, all the differences are
explained in the pattern).
Cat is crocheted in continuous
spirals without joining the
rounds. You will need a stitch
marker to keep track of where
the beginning of each round
starts. Move the marker up to the
first stitch of the next round after
finishing the previous one.
If you don't have a stitch marker
you can always use a scrap of
contrasting yarn instead. You can
see it in my photos.

TIP (yarn and wire)
If you use different yarn, the cat will
be bigger or smaller and you will
need more or less yarn and wire than
stated in the pattern (i.e. thicker yarn
will produce a larger cat and you
may require more yarn and wire).
I dont recommend to use thick yarn
to crochet cat as it may be difficult
to find big marbles for eyes.
Tip (gauge)

When making toys, you should use a
much smaller hook than
recommended for the yarn you chose.

Make sure you crochet tight enough;
otherwise, stuffing will show through
the holes.
Tip (wire)
If you decided to use thicker yarn you
should buy thicker wire as well. The
thicker your yarn the taller the cat would
be. In this case you will need longer
pieces of wire for the wire frame.
Tip (make it right)

If there are no special notes, the toy is crocheted under both parts
of the loop. In some rows, there are special notes: into the front
loop only or into the back loop only. In such case, you need to
follow these instructions.

Tip how to use acrylic paint for decoration.

Dilute black acrylic paint with water or solvent until it's gray. Take a small piece of sponge and rub the diluted paint
on scrap paper to make sure it's the gray you want, and then rub on ears, tail, eyes and all other areas you want to
paint. Paint your cat in daylight to make sure you have the effect you want, then leave overnight to dry completely.
If you don't have acrylic paint, you can use eye shadow or felt-tip pen of any color you like.
Tip (make it right)
When making toys the right side looks like that:

Cut 20 cm (8 inches) of wire. Wrap it in a spiral with
plaster with fabric base to avoid the frame sliding inside
the finished toy. Make a loop at the end.
