What Stitch is This???

[Lucy1212]

Hi I have been struggling with identifying this stitch for a while. It seems like a granny stitch but when I do that, it doesnt look like this. Any ideas on what it could be or what I might be doing wrong? Thank you so much :)

Its made with 3 double crochets per cluster.  Yours looks like there are only two stitches per cluster.

The top one is indeed a 'granny stitch', which is the same stitch placement of stitches done in a granny square typically (3 US DC over a chain, or 2, usually) except done in rows, not in the round. 

I can't figure out what you did in the second photo, you invented something new.  BGS just replied as I was pondering the bottom photo, aside from some 2-DC groupings, there's other strange things going on.  For the granny 'stitch' in rows, you never stitch INTO a stitch (except at the very edges).

I'll see if I can find a tutorial for doing the 'granny stitch' in rows.

@Granny Squareneither photo is mine -I have been asked to make the second one for a family member but it seems foreign to me. Thank you for the video, I might just do a granny stitch!

Oh, gotcha, sorry for my misinterpretation, but we are on the same page being stumped by it.  

The top photo is clearly 'granny stitch' like the tutorials I linked.

On the bottom pic, the areas looking like <>threw me, it looks like 2 stitch tops connecting to each other; at first I thought 'mile a minute' strips sewn together but that can't be it...

I concur with GrannySquare and Brenda.  Although, both pics might reflect not have a chain between each cluster, thus making the clusters tighter together, which I have successfully done without problems.
