Convertible help please!

[notyourwendy]

I want to make Knitty's Convertible Shawl, but I was looking over the instructions and I can't figure out what to do about the buttonholes.  Specifically, I have no idea what to do with the marker as specified here: *Buttonhole Row [RS]: K3, yo, k2tog, k1, place marker, work Row 1 of Lace Pattern 7 times, place marker, k2, yo, k2tog, k2.

What do I do with the marker afterwards?

Note: I've never done button holes before, but looking at some button hole instructions doesn't get me anything like what Convertible seems to want me to do.

Help?

Best of luck with Convertible. I've eyed that pattern for a long time and seeing it picked up by another is inspirational-- maybe I'll give it a shot, too!
