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.

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 does this mean in a crochet pattern holding the last lp of each st on the hook sk next 2 sc 3tr in next sc?

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.
