1. The following web sites explain the different abbreviations. The first one explains the Kfb (which I had never used before) It is an increase. http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/increases http://www.knitting-crochet.com/knisti.html http://www.knitting-crochet.com/terms.html I believe all of the abbreviations are there for you. Good luck. They are great web sites!
2. Well, there is a lot there to explain, but these are all very basic instructions -- these you need to know to do any knitting at all. KFB means "knit front and back". It's a common way to make 2 stitches out of one. It has a particular look, and you may or may not like the way it looks. There are other ways to make increases as well, and if you want, you can substitute another one. "Knit even" means to just knit each stitch all the way around (you are going to be knitting a tube). "K2tog" means to knit 2 stitches together. This is a common decrease -- making 2 stitches into one. And that should be it. Bookmark, and print out, the site given above... it will come in very handy for many years.
