That's IT!, I could have sworn my aunt said she crocheted it but on much closer inspection of the stitches you're right, likely why I couldn't find the pattern under any crochet sites still need the hook to fix the holes though, but being done in strips like that it's small enough I could knit one.

Thank you so much! Been trying not to pull it out much until I can fix it, but now I should be able to start its copy just as soon as I can get some more yarn. It really is a lovely pattern. And you just skipped me ahead probably a year or two on making it
