Insert your second needle into the most recent stitch, placing the needle so that it on top of your first needle. Wrap the yarn from under and place it over the second needle. Dig the yarn out of the stitch. Keep the new stitch on the second needle and drop the remainder of the first stitch. Repeat this step until you reach the end of the row. Change hands so that your dominant hand has the empty needle. Insert the empty needle through and under the most recent stitch. Wrap the yarn under and place it on top of the bottom needle. Take the yarn out and leave it on the empty needle, while dropping the remainder of the first stitch from the other needle. Repeat this step until you reach the end of the row. Going back and forth on each row with the two stitches creates an even, basic knit pattern. On this side you can see that it's the knit stitch pattern. On the other side you will notice the purl stitch pattern. As you keep knitting, your project will continue to grow. Now you know how to do the purl and knit stitch, and that's all it takes to get started. The majority of your projects will consist of these two stitches in combination to create other stitches. Have fun!
