Yes. It isn't the number of plies that determine whether a yarn is called DK (double knitting weight), but the over all thickness of the yarn. Plus, you don't necessarily have to use DK yarn to double knit. Any two yarns of matching thickness can be used. You should check your pattern for the correct gauge and weight of yarn to make sure the finished garment will fit as expected.

Can you use two strands of double knit for an aran pattern?
Yes, you can use two strands of double knit yarn held together to substitute for an aran weight yarn in a pattern. This will create a similar thickness and gauge as aran weight yarn, but be sure to swatch and adjust your needle size as needed to match the pattern's gauge.

How many DNA strands do have in most cells?
DNA consists of two strands of nucleotides twisted into a double helix.
How many strands does DNA have what is its shape?
DNA has two strands that form a double helix shape. The double helix structure is like a twisted ladder, with two strands of nucleotides connected by hydrogen bonds and coiled around each other.
What is the bond that connects two strands together?
The bond that connects two strands of DNA together is called a hydrogen bond. These bonds form between complementary nitrogenous bases (adenine-thymine and cytosine-guanine) on each strand, holding the two strands together in a double helix structure.
DNA molecules has how many strands?
DNA molecules have two strands that are twisted together to form a double helix structure. Each strand is made up of a sequence of nucleotides containing genetic information.
What is the difference of double yarn and single knitting yarn?
"Double knit," refers to the weight or thickness of the yarn. Double knit is between sport weight and worsted weight. It is named for the knitting technique that most often calls for this weight: double knitting. Double knitting is the knitting of a two sided fabric that is reversable with a two color pattern on one side and the negative of that pattern on the reverse side. It is called double knitting because both sides are knit at the same time on one set of needles. "4 ply" refers to the number of individual strands twisted together to form a yarn. A yarn with two strands is called "2 ply," and so on. The number of plies determines, to a degree, the fluffiness or smoothness of a yarn. Yarn with more plies is generally smoother and less fluffy. The number of plies does not determine the weight or thickness of the yarn. It is possible to have a double knit yarn that is also 4-ply, or to have a thicker yarn that is has more or fewer plies. The same is true with a thinner yarn.
Are 2 strands of double knitting equal to 1 of chunky?
Usually yes. The best way to test it is to take a ruler and wrap the two strands together around the ruler continuously for one inch length (make sure the yard does not overlap, nor leave gaps). Then take a strand of chunky yarn and do the same. You should get the same number of rotations around the ruler for each. You may also want to note that using two yarns together of different colors will give you a nice heathered effect in the finished product.
