      Dear Sima,

      It looks like a closely done buttonhole wheel stitch. The stitch has been done for a semi circle, rather than the complete circle.

      Hey Anne, it is good to know that my tutorial helped you. I have made my best to make them as simple as possible, coz it is easy to confuse oneself with many kinds of sititches that look closely related to each other.
