Crochet 3 sc in the last ch of the main chain, which will allow you to turn and work on the other side of the main chain. Crochet 1 sc in the next 3 remaining loops on the other side of the chain and then *chain 5. Starting from the second chain from hook, crochet 1 sc in each ch stitch till you reach the other side of the main chain (4 sc). Crochet 1 sc in the next 2 remaining loops along the other side of the main chain*, repeat 3 times. Then once again chain 5.

Then skip 10 of the remaining loops on the other side of the chain and start crocheting from the eleventh remaining loop. Thus you will create the second buttonhole. Now crochet 1 sc in each remaining loop of the other side of the chain and into the 10 remaining loops around the first buttonhole.
