In knitting, this means simply that you are supposed to move the yarn from behind the work to the front by moving it between the needles.This is often used when switching from a knit stitch to a purl stitch in the middle of a row.

Yarn forward when knitting means you take the yarn coming from the ball or skein and wrap it, or bring it toward you over the needle and then complete the next stitch. Doing this creates the pattern of the knit.
