SKIRT: Crochet back and forth from side to side.
If you want the skirt 10 cm longer work an extra 24 ch, these will sit between marker-1 and marker-2, i.e. there will be an extra 18 htr compared to numbers in pattern.

Crochet 107-112-117-123-128-133 loose ch on crochet hook size 4 mm with brown. Crochet first row as follows from the waist towards bottom edge: 1 dc in 2nd ch from hook, 1 dc in each of the next 2 ch, * skip 1 ch, 1 dc in each of the next 3 ch *, repeat from *-* a total of 5 times = 18 dc, insert MARKER-1,* skip 1 ch, 1 htr in each of the next 3 ch *, repeat from *-* a total of 9-10-11-13-14-15 times, then crochet 1 htr in each of the next 0-1-2-0-1-2 ch = 27-31-35-39-43-47 htr, insert MARKER-2, * skip 1 ch, 1 tr in each of the next 3 ch *, repeat from *-* a total of 6 times = 18 tr, insert MARKER-3, then crochet M.1 on the bottom 23 ch. Let the markers follow the piece as you go along.
Turn and crochet next row as follows: M.1 on sts to marker-3,18 tr (i.e. to marker-2), 27-31-35-39-43-47 htr (i.e. to marker-1) and 18 tr (i.e. to end of row).
Turn with 2 ch and now continue as follows: To marker-1 crochet 1 row of htr and 1 row of dc alternately, between marker-1 and marker-2 crochet rows with htr, between marker-2 and marker-3 crochet rows with tr, then crochet M.1 on remaining sts (no varies acc to diagram).
Continue like this until piece measures approx 90-100-112-124-136-148 cm between marker-1 and marker-2 (i.e. section with htr) – adjust to a full repeat of M.1, try the skirt on to see if it fits. Cut the thread.

ASSEMBLY: Sew skirt tog at the side, edge to edge, but leave 18 sts (= 10 cm) for opening at the top. Along the opening towards front piece crochet 5 buttonhole loops from WS as follows: 1 dc in each of the first 2 sts, * 3 ch, skip 2 sts, 1 dc in each of the next 2 sts *, repeat from *-* a total of 4 times.
