Batman Crochet Doll

Someone asked me recently if I could make a crocheted Batman doll.  After extensively searching the web I could not find what I was looking for.  I was able to find a basic doll here, http://crazycraftiness.blogspot.com/2011/06/basic-amigurumi-body-june-pattern-part.html, but even that was not exactly what I wanted.  So I used this basic pattern as a guide and edited it as I went.  Here is what I did!

     

The person I was making Batman for wanted the more classic dark blue/gray Batman, but you can substitute black for the dark blue if you prefer.

Use a stitch marker to mark the ch 1 at the beginning of each round.  At the end of each round join last sc to the ch 1 with a sl st.  Don't count the ch 1 at the beginning of each rd .

Use G hook
