scrawl child theme

functions.php
=============

<?php
/**
 * @package Scrawl Child Theme
 */
/**
 * Load the parent and child theme styles
 */
function scrawl_parent_theme_style() {
	// Parent theme styles
	wp_enqueue_style( 'scrawl-style', get_template_directory_uri(). '/style.css' );
	// Child theme styles
	wp_enqueue_style( 'scrawl-child-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri(). '/style.css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'scrawl_parent_theme_style' );

style.css
=========

 
/*
Theme Name: Scrawl Child 
Version: 1.0
Text Domain: scrawl-child
Template: scrawl
*/

I cannot get a child theme of scrawl to work correctly. I created a child theme with 2 files, functions.php and style.css. The contents of those files is listed above.

Whenever I activate the scrawl child theme, the info put into the url for the parent style sheet is always set to ‘scrawl-child/style.css’ rather than ‘scrawl/style.css’. I use the same code in a child theme for the ‘atomic-blocks’ theme, it is just not setting the path correctly in the generated code. This is the code generated:

<link rel='stylesheet' id='scrawl-style-css' href='http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/scrawl-child/style.css?ver=5.4.1' type='text/css' media='all' />

Where does that ‘-child’ come from?? How do I create and use a child theme for scrawl?

scrawl and atomic-blocks themes are both available on wordpress.org.

I am on a local test system, wordpress 5.4, gutenberg 8.2.1, the child theme does not work on a hosted wordpreess either.
