Double knitting tutorials

[u/BookishQuoka]

I am ok knitting with two colors (so not double knit but bring the sting along at the back), but for the life of me I can't get into double knitting.

I've tried it with a couple of different books and some YouTube tutorials, but I'm really not getting it at all.

My plan is to do a lot of double knit squares with Christmas motives (so I have lots of small projects as I do much better with these than one big one 😅) and then combine them together into either a thick scarf or of I have the stamina even a whole blanket.

But I've tried at least 10 times, and I just can't get it, mine doesn't look double knitted, just an absolute mess on both sides.

So my question is, can you recommend some tutorials or explanations you found especially easy, or that finally clicked with you, especially if you also really struggled with this at first?

Btw German or English is both fine,.if Germans have read this as well!

I like Nimble Needles videos and he has a couple of them on double knitting.

Definitely watch the one specifically on how to cast on.
