FP
Crochetfront post
Description
A crochet modifier indicating that a stitch is worked around the vertical post of the stitch below, inserted from the front, to create a raised texture.
Detailed explanation
FP stands for Front Post and acts as a prefix to standard stitches, such as FPdc (Front Post Double Crochet). Instead of working into the top loops, the stitch is executed around the vertical body of the stitch from the previous row. This technique pushes the fabric forward, creating the structural texture required for cables, basketweaves, and ribbing.
