I will introduce you to the cat amigurumi pattern named marie designed by snugglescrochetbyjamie. The cat, made with white and pink plush yarn, has a very soft texture and a very nice facial expression. The designer uses Premier Parfait Chunky brand yarn to make the amigurumi toy. The recommended crochet hook size for the cat is 4.5mm.
