They are called cable needles 
you can look into cable knitting, it allows you to make interesting, twisty shapes!

these are one example of cable needles, they can be used in both knit and crochet to produce a plaited pattern that stands out from your work.
A cable is created whenever you work your stitches out of order, making a twist in the fabric. The cable needle (or cable jump) holds the skipped stitches temporarily.

but using it for crochet cables is much easier , and less bulky than post stitches
