The vast majority of knitting patterns include both knits and purls. The only exceptions that come to mind would be garter stitch in the flat and stockinette (or reverse stockinette) in the round.
Perhaps you are thinking of ribbing, where knits and purls are alternated in a row that is repeated over and over again. The most common rib pattern is:
Cast on an even number of stitches
Row 1: K1, P1, repeat to end of row
Repeat Row 1 to desired length of ribbing

When you have knit the slip knot, all of the stitches should be on the right needle, and the left needle should be completely free*.*There may be some exceptions to this rule, as in circular knitting, but this will not be addressed until you are an advanced knitter, and you don't have to worry about that right now.
