From my web site Crochet Cabana.
yo, insert hook into the back of your stitch (in other words from back to front), go in front of the post, pull through (3 loops on hook) bringing stitch up to height of previous stitch, yo, pull through 2 loops (2 loops remaining),
yo, pull through remaining 2 loops to complete stitch
There is a video demonstration of this method on the web site and at my YouTube channel.

∙ 11y agoA front post stitch means instead of crocheting in the top loops of the stitch below, to crochet around the "post" which is the length of the stitch. For instance, how a double crochet is taller than a single crochet, that height is where you crochet around. I would go to youtube.com to find tutorials as it is much easier to learn visually than explained.

How to make a Front post double crochet?
Instead of inserting the hook into the top of the indicated stitch (the 2 strands that look a bit like a chain), you put the hook round the post of the previous row. If you think of the previous row stitch as a capital T, you work round the vertical column rather than into the cross bar.http://www.dummies.com/crafts/crocheting/stitches/how-to-work-front-post-double-crochet-stitches/

My best guess to what you are asking is that you are referring to Front Post and Back Post stitches. This would mean that you sitch around the stitch below the one that you are making.

Define the crochet term working around For example Working around next 4 ch-5 spaces and next slip st?
Its not possible to work around a crochet space because a space has nothing in it. However it is possible to work around a crochet stitch such as the post of the actual crochet stitch. You can work a crochet slip stitch over the top of crochet chains and stitches to get to another place in your crochet piece. You can also work crochet stitches around the post of a stitch. The term working around the space does not make any sense and is not good language for describing written instructions.

What does post mean in crochet?
The word "post" in crochet is referring to the whole stitch--generally a "tall" stitch (such as a double crochet, triple crochet, etc).The reason the instructions refer to the stitch in the row below, is so the crocheter understands that you are to stitch around the stitch below--the "post" of the stitch. Otherwise, if the instructions stated that you were to double crochet the next stitch, you would understand that you would be double crocheting into the top of the stitch below, versus crochet around the length of the stitch.You also notice that the instructions will say to "back post double crochet (bpdc)" which means to bring your stitch around the post from the back position. So, "front post, double crochet (fp dc)" would mean to bring your stitch in from the front side of your work.

How do you crochet with your finger?
To crochet using your fingers only, use the same procedure as when using a hook, but just use your fingers instead. You will end up using your forefinger as a "hook" holding the parts of the stitch on your finger, and "hooking" your finger to "draw through" the material to make the stitch. I would hazard that the "best" stitches to make using a finger crochet technique would be the shorter stitches--slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet. I think that with taller stitches, you might begin to not have room on your forefinger to "hold" the loops necessary to make the stitches. Look at the attached video link and see finger crocheting single crochet stitches is being done.
