What megalion said. You might try www.knittinghelp.com for video tutorials of various techniques. Not sure if those particular ones are on there, but it's a good resource anyway!
There are often a lot of abbreviations in patterns. M1= make 1 (this is an increase), PSSO = pass slipped stitch over - this usually occurs sometime after you have slipped a stitch (generally seen as sl) for example the pattern may say "sl1 k1 psso" for this you are slipping a stitch onto your needle as if it has already been knit, knit the next stitch in the row, then go back to that slipped stitch and bring it over the knit stitch as if you were binding off that stitch. This creates a decrease. I'm admittedly uncertain of what is to be done on the section that states "knit two together through back loop" (seen as k2tog tbl). But I'm sure you could find some representation of that technique. Sorry I could not answer everything but hopefully things are a little more clear on the stuff I did comment on. Good Luck!
Knitting through the back loop is just that. Instead of inserting your needle from the front, insert it into the part of the stitch that's in the back. K2tog tbl = knitting two stitches together, through the back of the loop (instead of the front). definitely check out knittinghelp.com for the videos. you may have to visit different "areas" (i.e. advanced techniques or knitting tips) to find all the things. The glossary is a great place to start- which includes the usual pattern abbreviations. (sorry if my description of TBL is difficult to see!)
