Ukulele Mike/Mike Lynch has a lot of YouTube videos showing different strum patterns.
I dont really have a method per se, I just go for it. I think mainly its a downsweep with the backs of my fingers/nails, and up on the thumb.
I use my ring and long finger on the down strum (nail side) and thumb on the up (nail side). Works for me. Dont be locked into a certain way of strumming, try thumb, index, claw etc etc and see what feels best for you.

You're doing two fingers on the way down and not using index?
It's surprising to me how many different ways people do this. Wish I had a uke in my office to try this.
Yes, just like you described. Never felt comfy with the index.
