Help please!

My pattern says to do yfwd. ,yrn I am on a knit row. This makes to loops which I suppose is fine because after this I knit 3G. My problem is that my next row is a purl row and where the two loops were made the stitches do not seem right. Any help would be greatly appreciated:)0

Welcome to the forum!
What is the name of your pattern and designer?
Yfwd, yarn forward means to bring the yarn to the front between the needles. So far that hasn’t created a loop over the needle. Yrn means to bring the yarn round the needle, creating a single loop over the needle.
Yfwd, yrn then means bring the yarn to the front between the needles then over the right needle to the back. Since this is a knit row, the yarn is then in position to work the following knit stitches.
When you come to the yarn over on the purl row, there will only be one extra loop over the needle at this point.
This specificity is often seen in UK patterns where US patterns will use the general term, yo, yarn over for everything. This video may help.

Thank you for your reply:) I purchased the pattern from Little French Knits on Etsy it is called the leaf cardigan.

If I understand what you are saying, I would bring the yarn forward, a then over the needle to the back and knit just like a yo. , and not to wrap it entirely around the needle back to the front thus making two loops. So is yrn in this case simply a yarn over? When I read comments on this pattern someone mentioned uk terminology could this be what is throwing me off. It also has a “ yon “ in this row so I assumed it must be different from the yfwd. Yrn, or they would have just used that term again.

Is it this pattern or perhaps a similar one from Little French Knits?

I’ve made this cardigan and used yo in place of the yfwd, yrn and later the yon. I saw no evidence for a larger eyelet or for working a double yarn over on the next row, the purl row (typically that would require knit into the first loop, purl into the second). Something may be getting lost in translation.
The sweater is so sweet. Have fun working the leaf pattern.

Thank you again. Yes this is the one I’m making. Your instructions make more sense, and I will do what you have suggested. It is good to know that doing that way turned out well for you. Thanks again🙂
