Front and Back Post Double Crochet Stitch ("FPdc" and "BPdc")

Description: Working in the front post or back post creates visual texture in a crochet pattern. Front post stitches can be made from any type of basic crochet stitch, but are most often created with double or treble crochet stitches. The same can be said of back post stitches, which make recessed stitches instead of raised ones. One popular application for a combination of front and back post stitches is a basket weave pattern, where a series front and back posts are a carefully arranged to create a basket-like effect.
