Crochet Diamond Gauntlet (Fingerless Gloves) Pattern

This is the first time I have successfully (I hope) designed something. I am very proud of these so if there are any mistakes or problems please let me know so that I can try to fix them.

Diamond Gauntlet - Fingerless Gloves

Notes:
Hook: 5.0 mm
Yarn: SMC Select Trend (bulky - 12 ply)

sl st - slip stitch
hdc - half double crochet
MC - main color (orange for me)
CC  - contrast color (black for me)
2hdc tog - decrease two half double crochets into one stitch

These gloves are crocheted in the round. All ch 2 at start of round do not count as a stitch for the numbering below.  You must know how to "carry-along" yarn for this project.  You need to know how to combine two Half-double stitches together (2hdc tog) - there is a short tutorial here.

Lastly - I changed color (for every color change) in the last yarn over and pull through of each stitch.

Pattern: - for left and right gloves
