In crochet, the abbreviation, sk chs, is an instruction to skip (sk) chains (chs).
In a pattern you might see it written: sk 3ch. Which would translate into: skip stitching into the next 3 chain stitches (you would then follow then next instructions to find out what to do then).
It means "skip." If you would ordinarily crochet in each stitch, this instruction means to skip one stitch without working it and move to the next one.
This means do not work into the next stitch(es), just leave them and work into the next indicated stitch. This usually creates a hole in the work.
sk = skip
sk = skip
How am I supposed to know Iām asking the question here
The letters sc are found in crochet instructions and are the abbreviation for "single crochet". The instructions are telling you to make a single crochet stitch in the last stitch of the row you are working.

SS is an abbreviation for slip stitch.
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 are the terms for crochet
I believe this would be: hold the last loop of each stitch on hook (which means to stop one short when doing your final pulling though for the stitch) skip next two single crochet (meaning to simply not do anything in those next two single crochet stitches and jump over them.) three triple crochet in next single crochet. (meaning to make three triple crochet stitches in the next single crochet after the ones you skipped.) I hope this will clear that up.
The "x" symbol in crochet means: single crochet (sc)
If you already know the basics of crochet, you can use the knitting instructions to determine the size and shape you need. You would have to experiment to get the correct gauge.
