When I learned many years ago I had to learn how from a book. You are lucky that you have YouTube to see what you are doing.

I suggest looking at more than one how to knit video until you find one that shows you what you need to know

The v is a different stitch it’s called a purl stitch if you want to learn (:

The V is the stockinette stitch. It is made using a pattern of knit and purl.

Knit stitch forms a V.

A purl stitch forms a bump

A purl stitch is actually the back side of a knit stitch

Garter stitch is knitting every row. It will show ridges

Stockinette stitch is knit 1 row purl the next one. It will have a flat side with the Vs. those Vs are knit stitches

The other side will have the bumps, ridges. Those are purl stitches
