Lovely shawl and I want to make it but I need some help with a couple of abbreviations. What does 'yf' and 'yrn' mean? I have not seen these before. Thanks.

yf is yarn forward and yrn is yarn round needle. Hope this helps. Happy knitting!

To make it more clear, the yf is yarn forward, this would be what americans term a yo, yrn is yarn around the needle, it is also a yo but it indicates to wrap the yarn from the opposite way to a yo, usually on a purl row. Yo always has you wrapping the yarn one way but to keep the stitches consistent between knits and purls you must sometimes wrap the yarn from opposite way.
