knit one, purl one rib


Explanation:
COTE 1/1:
1er rang: *1 m. endr., 1 m. env.*. Répéter de * à *, term. par 2 m. endr.
2ème rang et tous les rangs suivants: tricoter les mailles comme elles se présentent

The above English is a description of how to knit the particular pattern/stitch
I suspect the tee shirt would be "ribbed-knit" or "ribbed" in everyday parlance but maybe someone could confirm

single rib


Explanation:
I vaguely remember this term from when I used to knit. Gets a few Google hits - not many, but then maybe knitting is one of the topics that Google doesn't cover so well.
