I decided to start with the straight leg version;
I wanted the doll to be fairly large(8.5 inches in length) so I used a 5.00mm hook, if you want one that is smaller I suggest using a 3.75mm hook which is what I used for my Hulk and Captain America dolls.

Slip
stitch in the next stitch, cut off yarn, sew leg closed(I used a whip
stitch through the front loops and pulled closed)
Continue
with the next leg, join yarn and crochet the same as the first leg,
just make sure that each leg is made up of the same amount of
stitches(Mine were 11 stitches each)
Use the
tail of one of the legs to sew the opening between the legs shut,
then weave in all ends
Slip stitch onto body where you want the arms,
Single crochet in a
circle, 8 stitches for both arms(if you want the arms to be larger,
increase the amount of stitches you began with for each arm)
Single
crochet around for 5 rows, or until desired length
whip
stitch in all front loops and pull to tighten, weave in ends
Do the same for the other arm
This
pattern is easily adjustable, you can add detail like clothes or
incorporate the details as you crochet the doll by joining/changing
colors as you crochet.
I will post the alterations for this pattern which I used for my Batman, Hulk and Captain America, in the near future! I have high hopes to be able to upload some video tutorials on You Tube soon as well!
I hope this pattern was helpful :)
Sincerely,
Evelyn
