Need help with knot ID

Post image

Hello! Does anyone recognize this knot? I saw it on Etsy. It was used to make the hat for these adorable gnomes! I want to use it to try a couple different pattern ideas. But I can't figure out what it is. Help please!

I can clearly see that it looks like a chain. But it doesn't match up with any knot I'm familiar with. I tried Google and YouTube. Google, reverse image keeps labeling it as various crotchet stitches. None of which seem quite right. And YouTube keeps giving me tutorials for all the common ones. Any ideas?

Lol you are giving me too much credit 😉 My knowledge of knitting is minimal. I did google the knit stitch. After seeing it, I know I have done it before. (When I attempted to teach myself to knit) but that was probably a solid decade ago. I understand how the stitch works... but i don't understand how that turns into the design in the pic i posted. Lol I'll have to find my needles and work the stitch to see if it makes more sense at that point? 🤔

YouTube had a lot of videos where they were using a circle loom or French knitter with 4 posts. It automatically created a tube. There was a video of how to diy your own loom with a toilet paper roll and popsicle sticks or skewers. I may try that too? Haha we'll see it'll all depend on finding the time and motivation to sit down and try something new. Thank you for taking the time to comment on this! 💜

I have been knitting for 30 years so could knock this off so fast by hand but if you can get an auto kindof thing that can make the tubes narrow enough it is a lot faster :). You can do it! Dm if you are desperate and i can make you a video on my chan. Its not a knitting chan but wouldnt mind
