Post stitches are stitches worked around the post of a stitch, usually a double or treble crochet. It's sometimes difficult to get a picture of the different steps since I have only two hands and need them to hold the camera. LOL I suggest doing a search at YouTube or other online resource for videos. Nexstitch has a good one you can look at.
