1. Pick Your Yarn
You will need two skeins of yarn to start. Make sure to use the same type of yarn, so that washing and handling your project is easier for you.
2. Determine the Proper Needle Size
You are going to need bigger needles than what the yarn on it's own as a single strand would call for.
3. Practice and Mentally Prepare
One thing that you will have to get used to that can take some time would be holding two strands of yarn at once, and acting like they are just one strand. This can be tricky when you are first starting, so just be conscious of it.
4. Begin Working With Your Yarn
Make sure that every time you go to knit you are working through BOTH loops. Stay very aware of this as you are knitting, because knitting only one loop can cause loose loops throughout your work.
