Crochet- thumb-less mittens

I was asked a dear friend of mine to crochet mittens for her grandson. I had advertised on facebook that I love crochet and sell my crochet pieces, asked for orders and got......mittens. Never had I crocheted mittens, never have I had the desire. But I love my friend and could NOT say no. After searching for a pattern, trying it and rejecting it, I decided to make my own pattern. So much easier! I don't think I've used a pattern since I first began crochet so it seriously helped to go without one. And now that I've figgered it out here you go!!!

Make 2(....obviously, haha) in any color you want!:
Chain 5
1st round- 2 sc into the second chain, sc in the next 2 chains, 4 sc in the first chain, sc in the next 2 chains, 2 sc in the last chain, ss into first sc-  for a total of 12 sc in an oval shape.
2nd round- ch 1, 1 sc into first stitch, 2 sc into next, 1 sc into each of the next 2 sc, 2 sc into next sc, 1 sc into next, 1 sc into next, 2 sc into next, 1 sc into each of the next 2 sc, 1 sc into next, 2 sc into next, join with ss for a total of 16 sc.
3rd round- 2 sc into each sc- 32 sc
nows the easy part:
4th round- ?:  sc until you reach the bottom of child thumb(where the thumb meets the hand, the under side).
When you get this far you start to decrease.
next round: dec- 6 sc and then dec around, 28
next round: sc in each, 3 rows
next round: 28 sc but do not attach x as many rows as gets you past the wrist and up the arm a little bit.
finish off.
Now you can add any embellishment you want to close the wrist flap. You can add a cute flower, a truck you embroider, buttons if you watch the child carefully and make sure they can't get it off...whatever you like!....to close up the mitten. I leave it open like this because if her grandchildren are anything like my Josiah than it will be hard for mom to even get mittens on, let alone keep them on.
make a chain, close up both ends tightly, sew the ends together and on one flap, put the button or whatever else you choose on the other side. The chain should neatly wind around the button to keep it closed. You can choose how loose or tight you make it.
You're done!

This post is a little clumsy. Ill be getting the final picture up and tweaking the written pattern(Im not good at writing patterns down!) a bit but that will take time :-).
Until next time!
