    In order to “(yo, draw through 2 lps on hook) twice,” you’d need to yo twice at the beginning of the herringbone double crochet stitch; otherwise, there are not enough loops. It appears that the cowl is made with the herringbone half double crochet, not a tall stitch, performing the action within the parentheses only once.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

      Hi Deborah,
      You’re right—the instructions for the herringbone double crochet stitch as listed in the pattern above are incorrect. Here is the corrected version:

      Herringbone double crochet (hbdc): Yo, insert hook in indicated st, yo and draw through st and first lp on hook, yo and draw through first lp on hook, yo and draw through remaining 2 lps on hook.
      Thanks so much for pointing out the error. I apologize for the oversight! Please let me know if you have any other questions.
      Kathleen
