The Boardwalk Ripple Edged Afghan uses km1 and pm1 stitches. This is a photo tutorial for how to make these stitches.

km1 = knit-make one: Move yarn to back. With left needle pick up thread between last and next stitch inserting front to back. With right needle knit back loop.

pm1 = purl-make one: Move yarn to front. With left needle pick up thread between last and next stitch inserting front to back. With right needle purl back loop.
