Knitting Knit - Mittens for Leeke

As promised, here is the pattern I did for Leeke mittens. I will let you know the guage later as I forgot to figure it out, I just made it up as I knit. It would be best made in a thinner yarn but I wanted it to match the hat I had already made. I will be doing another pattern in a thinner yarn at a later point in time. This is knit in the round.

Right mitten:
Cast on 12 sts
Work 3 rows K1, P1 rib
(K1, inc1, K2) to end (15sts)
K3 rows stocking stitch
K8, place 2 on holder, K5
K1 row
K to last 2 sts, K2tog
K1 row
K2 tog, k to end
K1 row
K2 tog, k to last 2 sts, k2 tog
k2 tog to end.
Cut thread and run up through sts. Weave in ends.

For left mitten just reverse directions.

Thumb: Pick up the 2 sts from holder and one more from the mitten part (sorry don't know how else to describe it)
K 2 rows on a straight needle (just loop it when you finish to make a loop)
K2 tog.
Cut thread and pull through sts. Weave in ends.

Hope this helps. I'm new at writing out directions for others (I know what I mean but usually others don't)

Here it is all finished next to the hand:

Here it is being worn:
