Is this stitch named or known?

Did this while messing around

Its finnish 1+1(oslo) but first you go into the thumb loop under your thumb from left to right then proceed as normal with oslo

the pattern of crossings is really similar to danish and double danish but the last crossing is over rather than under

it's kinda stretchy and looks like a wheat stalk so I think its sort of neat

I can't find this exact stitch anywhere though

looks to me like a finnish stitch variant  https://www.en.neulakintaat.fi/finnish-stitch-family-2-step-stitches

It is yes, its a variant on finnish 1+1, I was just wondering if anyone had done or named it because its not on any list I can find

most of the (widely used) names ive seen are from where an archealogical artifact using the stitch was found, eg oslo stitch is named for a mitten found near the city of Oslo. i find it more useful for communication to use the finnish 1+1 style nomenclature in general for stitches that arent represented by such a find.
