H hook
Abbreviations:
Rnd: round
Sc: single crochet
Ss: slip stitch
FO: Fasten off
hdc: half double crochet
dc: double crochet

*NOTE: use a marker and work in rounds*
ch 2 or form magic circle
Rnd 1: 8 sc in ring
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (16)
Rnd 3: *1 sc, 2 sc in next sc* rep from * to * around (24)
Rnd 4-19: sc in each sc around
ss 1, FO
(this is the hand part)
Thumb:
ch 2 or form magic circle
Rnd 1: 8 sc in ring
Rnd 2: *2 sc, 2 sc in next sc* rep from * to * around (10)
Rnd 3-9: sc in each sc around (7 rounds)

by this point you should have 2 pieces that look like this.
If you have bigger hands or longer hands adjust accordingly. add a couple rounds or subtract a couple rounds to make it smaller. The pieces should fit like that.
Take the thumb and sew it to the hand piece 4 stitches
then attach yarn anywhere on the bottom and sc around thumb and whole mitten. You should have 30 stitches total. (of course the count would change if you altered the pattern)
Rnd 1-3: sc in each sc around (3 rounds)
Rnd 4: *4 sc, sc2tog* rep from * to * around
Rnd 5-9: sc in each sc around
at this point if you wanted to make the entire mitten single crochet you could just keep going until you reached your desired length. I didn't I changed it up.
Rnd 10: ss1, ch 2, hdc in each sc around, ss1 to join
Rnd 11 to desired length: ch 2, *1 fpdc, 1 bpdc* rep from * to * around
ss 1, FO.
