on 7/16/2009 Fp and Bp are Front Post and Back Post, referring to the column of yarn that makes up the body of the larger stitches. Front and Back refer to how you approach the "post" with your crochet hook.

on 10/9/2008 Thank you for your comment. I, too, have crocheted for many years and these are the standard abbreviations I learned on, and they continue to be used in patterns I use today.
