Knitting is basically two stitches, knit and purl. There are some patterns that are all garter stitch (all knits), but the majority use a combination of both so yes, I'd say you should learn to purl.
**Please provide a pattern link and/or name if possible when asking questions. It's also okay to post a few lines of the pattern, but please don't post the whole pattern.
Yes, unless you plan on doing nothing but garter stitch for the rest of your knitting days.
