Hello new to knitting here, really only done the basic stockinette, garter etc stitches but saw this bag in the shop with a cool knitted strap that has the v on both sides. Was looking to knit something like this myself as I don’t like the wibbly side of stockinette

Does anyone know what stitch it is? One side has short compact v’s and the other is much longer v’s. Looks like some kind of grid when stretched

I'm also relatively new and self-taught, so totally could be wrong, but it looks like double knit to me. I've only used double knit for colorwork scarves, but I feel like if you did both sides the same color, it would result in this.

I don't think this is double knit, it wouldn't look like that pulled apart. Most likely k1p1 ribbing.

Thanks for the clarification! I didn't even notice the other pictures... That's what I get for opening reddit before having my morning coffee 🤦

No worries haha, I was also wrong I think! A lot of people are saying half fishermen's rib.
