This is an intermediate level tutorial on the Autumn Cowl (with buttons). It’s a beautiful leaf pattern, perfect for the fall! You should be comfortable with front post double crochets (FPDC), back post double crochets (BPDC), FPDC increases/decreases, BPDC increases/decreases and half double crochets (all US versions) before you attempt this pattern. When working up the pattern to do an infinity style cowl WITH buttons, only do the leaf pattern repeat a total of 3 times. When crossing it over in front to form a point, complete the leaf pattern repeat a total of 4 times.
