A step by step tutorial on how to double knit for beginners. Easy instructions (plus a video) showing you this simple colorwork technique.
Double knitting requires you to always hold two strands of yarn at the same time. A knitting thimble (fair isle ring) will make it much easier to keep an even tension if you are a continental knitter. It's possible to knit without one as well.
Important: It is recommended to knit on at least one but better two needle sizes smaller than you normally would to achieve a dense fabric. E.g. if you normally would use a size 5 needle for this yarn, go for a size 4 or even size 3. Also, slightly fuzzy yarns (like shetland wool, etc) will help you create a fabric where you cannot see the other side peeking through.
