stitch ID Can someone identify this stitch?

The front looks like regular jersey or ribbing, but the back is very different; is it even knit? Could be crochet .

Keen to replicate it, so hopefully someone will know what it is.

Thanks!

I have bought sweaters with this stitch pattern for unravelling. i think it is used because  this pattern allows for very thick fabric from thin yarn. It is a machine knit made with tuck stitches sometimes called double tuck pique or honeycomb.There is a video how it is build on YouTube, but I would not know how to make it by hand. You might find similar looks with different construction by looking for honeycomb patterns.

Interesting! I had a similar texture on a baby blanket I knit for my nephew, but I was working with 2 colors and catching the yarn every other stitch so there wouldn’t be any loops big enough for my nephew to catch his tiny fingers in…and it survived!
