The easiest way to make a buttonhole is to do a yarn over.
On this pattern, I would work all stitches until you only have 3 left, at that point, I would to a yarn over and then continue knitting the remaining 3 stitches.
Once you turn the work, you will purl 3 and then purl 2 together (you will purl the yarn over and the original stitch together) this will get you back to the original number of stitches you had.
It is up to you to decide how many buttonholes you want.
