I know it’s some sort of stitch but what does it look like? I just recently (two days ago) began to learn how to knit on my own via assistance from youtube, but am not sure if what I have accomplished is the way it’s supposed to look.
Thanks.

It’s a wide rib stitch with a narrow reset. On the reverse side you would purl 2 knit 1.
Below is a link to a swatch worked in this pattern.
If I remember correctly, it’s the ribbed stitch. It stickes out and in. It is typically used on the cuffs of sweaters and sometimes on socks.
knit one purl 2 is a type of ribbing. you knit 1 purl 2 on row 1 and then on the following rows to purl the purls and knit the knits.
As a new knitter, hang in there
The first ribbed scarf I knit, it took knitting about 10 rows, (and ripping out many times!) before the pattern started to look like it should.
Your first row is the most challenging, because you need to have your knit and purl stitches correct to establish your pattern.
When you knit with straight needles, you have a “right” and “wrong” side.
Knit the stitches that look like v’s and purl the stitches that look like a bump (or noose). After you finish the first row, continue to row 2 (and beyond), knit the v stitches and purl the bump/noose stitches.
When you graduate to using circular needles or “knitting in the round” (knitting hats, socks, etc), there is no wrong side, you just knit your rib pattern all the way around, each row.
Do you know anyone who knits? I’m sure they could take a look and help you out. If you don’t know any knitters, head to a local yarn store (aka: LYS) Knitter are generally the nicest people and enjoy helping newbies along.
It sounds like you are doing very well! Most important, have fun and Knit On!
