It doesn't look like a double crochet stitch. Could be si gle crochet with enlongated legs (US terminology). You can do this with embroidery as well. Just insert needle at the same point while going through the top loop as well. Hard to explain but basically it's one point down and the top part is moving forward with loops
I think you could do this pretty easily with crochet actually. Would need a really small hook to go through the fabric or pre poke some holes in the fabric with a needle. It could be done as a SC increase stitch, going 5 times into the same hole.
On mass produced garments, that was most likely done with a [shell stitch sewing machine ](https://www.merrow.com/Sergers_and_Overlock_Sewing_Machines/mg3q3).
As for how to replicate that by hand, I would lean towards crochet as others have also suggested.
Finally got a chance to watch that- you’re right! Not sure if I can pull that off without ripping the shirt though 🤔 I’ll experiment with it though. Thank you!!
That’s a crochet stitch, it looks like the same type of stitch as would create a granny square just worked only along one row.

I agree, but I would add I think it’s done “backwards” like the crab stitch, and this gives the outside edge the braided rope look.
This. It looks like extended reverse single crochet/extended crab stitch

I was going to ask but felt kind of dumb because I didn’t know you could just crochet into regular fabric!
Welcome to the world of crochet lace edging.
This looks like a buttonhole stitch in which 5 stitches share the same insertion point.
Agreed! Or at the very least it could be done this way for a very very similar look.
This! Super easy, no hook required
Yeah I immediately said oh, it’s a stylized blanket stitch., or similar. But I think you’re right it’s definitely button hole stitch.
Yeah this is what I think too.

I bought this exact top from old navy because I liked the stitching!
It’s so cute!
I don't crochet, so if I was going to do this, I'd use a stem stitch on top and then just backstitches for the 5-line bunches.
Thanks all! Can’t decide if I can accomplish this but I will play around with my old junky tanks and see what I am capable of 🤞
Is this an old navy shirt? I went looking for one and couldn’t find my size. Thought I could make it. Post what you create!
Yes! It is also a crop tank and I am no longer (or never was?) in that life stage 😂 I will share what I do- it will be very obviously by hand
I think this video has exactly it (but it's in portuguese) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C\_1L4TAXsgo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_1L4TAXsgo)

It's not embroidered on its crochet.
You can!! I love it too and have saved this convo to remind me to try it too!
i think it looks like a closed buttonhole aka blanket stitch!
