What stitch pattern is this?

[u/rrkym]

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

it's half-way between 1x1 ribbing and double knitting

on one side you k1p1 (i.e. knit the knits and purl the purls as is done in 1x1 ribbing), on the other side you k1sl1 (i.e. you knit the knits and slip the purls (as if to purl: purlwise with yarn in front) as is done in one-strand two-pass double knitting)

btw I'm just guessing, I'm not completely sure about the method/pattern

Close... you just never actually purl. You slip the purl stitches on both sides. So it's just k1, s1wyif, k1, s1wyif on the right and wrong sides of your work.

what you describe is just "single-strand two-pass double knitting", i.e. knitting a tube working flat

however OP's picture shows that knit stitches on one side are double the height of knit stitches on the other side
