how do you get a purl pattern on both sides of your fabric in knitting?

I’m just starting so I’m sorry if it seems like too easy of a question. I saw a baby sweater in the yearn store and it seemed to me like it had purling on both sides of the fabric. The lady was pretty busy so I didn’t ask but I was wondering how would I get that affect? Right now I can get all the Vs on one side and all the “bumps” on the other. If I wanted all bumps would I simply purl every row? Or is this affect a whole different stitch?
