What Is the Post Of A Stitch In Crochet?
In crochet, the post of a stitch is the vertical part of the stitch located just below the top loops. It is the "stem" of the stitch that connects the stitches.
Post stitches are worked around this vertical section rather than into the top loops of the stitch.
This technique creates texture and patterns, such as raised or recessed areas, in the finished crochet piece.
