***
The body is based on the basic pattern for cutie I showed you here for Boris the beaver pattern:see more: Boris the beaver FREE PATTERN.
For the body I used Alize Softy (white color) and YarnArt Mink (grey color); crochet hook 2.5 mm.
To obtain the same size as for Boris the beaver, I crochet the stitches strictly because I use fluffy yarns and the gauge should be adjusted. Try to adjust it to your size.
Let me remind you of the initial pattern:

To remind you how to crochet eyes, look at the pattern below:
EYE (make 2)
Version 1 - flat
Crochet hook 2 mm.
Start from the pupil (black yarn) and then we change color to crochet iris.
Rnd 1: 8 sc in MR [8]
Rnd 2: (1 sc, inc) x 4 [12]
Rnd 3: 1 sc, inc, (1sc, ch 2, 1 sc) in one st, inc, 1 sc, change color: (1 sc, inc) x 3, 1 sc.
Fasten off (I do invisible finish), weave in yarn ends.
I work edging using black thin thread and crochet hook 1 mm (if you want to make black frame for the eyes, as in the original cutie creature). I work 2 sc in each stitch.
Finally I embroider white reflections in the centre of each eye.
Version 2 - 3D eyes
If you want to make 3D eyes, you may use safety eyes.Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR [6]
Rnd 2: 6 inc [12]
Rnd 3: (1 sc, inc) x 6 [18]
Rnds 4-6: 18 sc [18]

Look at this cute owl. She's so soft :-)
I recommend you to crochet her as soon as possible and hug, hug, hug ;-):
