I think you mean the final strand or tail left after you complete your final stitch. That strand (and any other tails left dangling in your work) should be pulled through your last stitch, then sewn through the stitches to hide it. I generally go a few stitches in one direction, down the post of a stitch, and turn and go in the opposite direction, to make sure it stays in place. Try to match color and weave such that the strand is not easily visible.

One should always leave a tail several inches in length. A friend of mine suggested that an appropriate length would be from the wrist to the top of your middle finger. which for me is about 6".

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.

What is a tr in crochet and how is it used in creating different crochet patterns?

In crochet, a "tr" stands for treble crochet, which is a tall stitch that creates a loose and open texture in the fabric. It is used in creating different crochet patterns by adding height and creating a lacy or airy effect. The treble crochet stitch is made by wrapping the yarn twice around the hook before inserting it into the stitch, which results in a taller stitch compared to other basic crochet stitches like single or double crochet.
