It looks like one of the family of elongated stitches, but done in two colors. I’d parse it out like this, if done in the flat:

Grab color #1
Row 1 & 2: Knit
Row 3: (K1 wrapping yarn around needle 3 times while forming the knit stitch)repeat
Row 4. (K1, drop 2 extra loops off needle without working them)repeat

Repeat rows 1-4 using second color.

Try it out and see if it’s close. Hope this helps. -K.

Thanks! I’ll swatch this to double check. The garter stitch bumps were making me a big hesitant to guess.

Today, someone else sent me pictures of shrugs knit using similar elongated stitches, which I think are knit using that same YO type technique. I’ll have to swatch tonight to see how the various things work out.
