BP

In crochet, BP stands for ‘back post’ and acts as a prefix for standard stitches, such as BPdc (back post double crochet). Instead of inserting the hook under the top loops, the stitch is worked around the stem of the previous row’s stitch. This technique pushes the stitch visually backward and is frequently paired with front post stitches to form ribbing, cables, or basketweave patterns.
