I have seen these fingerless mittens in catalogs and stores, I love them. So, here's my rendition.
Emmy's Motif

Yo, insert hook in indicated st, yo, pull lp through st and make lp same height as previous sts in working row, (yo, insert hook in same st, yo, pull lp through st and make lp same height as working row) twice, yo, pull through all 7 lps on hook, ch 1.

sc. Join with slip stitch (12 ps)
Round 3: Ch1, * sc in next ps,
ch 1 twice; sc in next ps, ps twice in next ch 1 space *; repeat from *to*
three more times. Slip stitch to beginning ch 1. Weave in ends.

Assembly:
Join together 16 motifs for each hand, leaving space for the thumb opening. & join the motifs in 4 columns of 4, I'm using method 2 for squares finished with chain joined in a zig zag pattern shown on this tutorial by pulling the yarn through the back after making a single crochet between joins. Any method for joining is going to work as long as you aim for a finished size of 7 1/2 x 7 1/2 for your crocheted piece. This shows 12 joined and the thumb space.
Round 1-ch 1, sc in same stitch, according around, join with slip stitch (20 sc)
Round 2-ch 3 (counts as dc) decrease dc, 5 dc, decrease dc twice, 5 dc, decrease dc, dc. Slip stitch to chain 3
Round 3-ch 3 (counts as dc), decrease dc, 10 dc, decrease dc. Slip stitch to join.
Round 4-ch 3 (counts as dc), 13 dc around, join with slip stitch.
Round 5- Repeat round 4 and fasten off. Weave in ends.
