Name that stitch?

My son has just asked me to knit an afghan for his GF, and he sent me a link to a pic of what she wants. Can anyone identify what stitches are used to make it look like this?

It looks something like a Brioche st or the Honeycomb variation. See www.briochestitch.com

it could be a type of fisherman’s rib. (the half version, maybe?)

here is a pic of the half-version of fisherman’s:

it may just be a matter of yarn and needle ratio to make it look so bulky.

I just knit a hat in a really chunky yarn that came out looking alike to what you want… I may be able to take a picture tonight. I made mine by fisherman’s with working all purls and knitting all knits in the row below. really easy, quick, elastic fabric and almost that look.

the other option is what I am just making in a baby blanket. Looks similar, too and comes close to the pic I found above:


I mean square 2 and pattern M2 in that blanket there - that would give you the explanation. It turns out a wonderful deep rib, very puffy, elastic, VERY nice for a blanket, since it will be very warm.

It sorta kinda also looks like My So-Called Scarf pattern, just with more cast on stitches.

maybe a type of broken rib many stitches referred to as broken rib…I believe it is this one co a multi of 4 + 1
k2 p2 k last st and just repeat this row the same rs as ws
it may also be another of wenlan fav’s the purse/turkish stitch which on her chunky would look like that

  • p1 yo p2tog* just a single row repeat the same rs as ws (again)

I thought of Hering Bone (that’s what that scarf is) for a moment, but it is more ribbed, less “zig-zaggy”, you know?
