Dutch term or phrase: ajourmotief
Babywear / cardigan description:

Het breisel heeft een ajourmotiefje en is afgewerkt met een leuk randje aan de boordjes.

After googling, I found a number of images that might suggest '(eyelet) lace pattern' / 'eyelet-ribbed pattern' / 'eyelet-yoke pattern'.

It might even be a crochet stitch as opposed to knitting. I hope that someone out there can help me with this. TIA

lace pattern
Explanation:
Ajourpatronen hebben vaak verschillende motieven. Er wordt veel gebruik gemaakt van het blad-motief.
In de link hieronder veel voorbeelden van hoe een ajourmotief eruit kan zien.
De zin geeft al aan dat het een gebreid ajourmotief is.
