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.
Create Child and Pet Pictures with Single Crochet Stitches?
While crochet enthusiasts enjoy making clothing and home decor items from patterns, even a beginner can increase her level of creativity with crocheted pictures of loved ones, a child's favorite characters or beloved pets. Use crocheted pictures on child or adult tops, decorate a child's bedspread or favorite blanket, or frame the finished picture as a wall hanging. This beginner project uses the single crochet stitch throughout the entire picture. Single crochet is the first stitch that novices learn, and it presents an attractive finished piece. If you want to crochet a picture wall hanging, you might need to add more background rows to fit the size display frame you have chosen. After choosing a favorite photo, upload it to your computer. Put graph paper in the printer and re-size the photo to your preferred size. Use color ink when printing. To crochet the photo, start by counting the number of blocks at the widest and longest rows. Add a border of three or more rows depending on your desired finished size. Single crochet the width of one block on the graph paper. The number of stitches per block varies with the type of yarn and the way that you crochet. Some people make tight crochet stitches while others make loose stitches. Once you know how many stitches to make per block on the graph paper, you can begin this pleasurable and creative endeavor. An important point for beginners to remember is to make even stitches. If some areas are loosely crocheted but other sections are of a different gauge, then your finished work will look lopsided. Add one extra single crochet stitch as the end of each row for turning your work. To use more than one color in a row, carry strands of the other colors on top of the just completed row of crochet stitches. As you crochet, these extra colors will be blended into the work but not seen. When you need to change colors, start with the new color in the previous stitch at the final yarn-over.
What does this mean in a crochet pattern dc in each dc across and in top of ch-3?
