Hi Kedra, This tutorial shows 3 different post stitches you may need to know to work a crochet pattern. One example it is used in is today’s Let’s Learn a New Crochet Stitch Square the Double Wave. Here’s the link: https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/lets-learn-a-new-crochet-stitch-double-wave/ I’ve seen these stitches used in clothing, blankets, hats and even amigurumi 🙂 Have a lovely day!

I’m not quite sure what is this stitch used in? Is it mostly used in blankets or clothing. I have heard of it but it is definately over my head.
