I've pretty much been taking the same path solid walnut's talking about.
Strum patterns are nice but i would suggest to practice them separate not part of a song. Start out with 1/4 and 1/8 strums to a metronome then mix it up a bit.
When doing a song don't worry about a pattern so much just do as you feel. If a pattern emerges fine then use it, but you'll fine yourself adding an extra strum here and there anyway
