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.
Groups of bacteria living together in a close-knit group are known as biofilms. Biofilms are organized communities of bacteria that adhere to a surface and can be found in various environments such as soil, rocks, and human tissues.

General characteristics of a solid are that it has a fixed volume and molecules and atoms are closely-knit.
Ending with a right side row means completing the final row of a project on the right side of the work, typically when working on a knit or crochet pattern. This ensures that the right side of the fabric is facing outwards and the finished project looks neat and uniform.
A blanket is a solid. It is made up of woven or knit fabric, which has a fixed shape and volume.
do you mean dk or double knit yarn ? if so this is basically equal to USA sport yarn. It is non American version and knits at between 5-6 stitches to the inch using a number 5 - 6 needle ........ OR ..... did you mean just using the yarn double as in using two strands at once? if your pattern says use the yarn double then just use two strands at once by pulling from two skeins and holding both threads together when your work .
"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.

If its heavier than DK, smaller needles won't help much. The only way to know for sure is to knit test swatches.
DC as written that way would only mean double crochet in crochet .. only thing I can think of it is a knit pattern and in the finishing they tell you to dc around meaning to double crochet around which does happen too or somewhere in the knit pattern they want you to double crochet .. last idea someone made a typo and they meant to say dec = decrease ..
If you are alternating each stitch (knit, purl, knit, purl) the pattern is called ribbing. If you alternate each row (row 1 knit, row 2 purl) it is called stockinette stitch.
Aran knitting is a classing style of knitting using lots of cables and embellishments.Aran knitting originated in the Aran islands off the coast of Ireland. It is characterized by intricately patterned sweaters that involve lots of cables, bobbles and other designs.It is thought that the women of the islands began to knit these sweaters in the early 1900s, both to clothe their families and to sell to tourists.They are traditionally made from wool, which makes them warm even when wet. The first patterns for Aran sweaters were published in the 1940s, and they have been popular ever since.
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.
You can knit, or crochet, or mix the two crafts to fashion a butterfly.You can either make up a pattern or find a pattern of the butterfly you want to craft.
I would like to knit my own window drapery! Can someone tell me where I can find a nice lace pattern to make this happen?
To bind off a 2x2 rib stitch pattern, you would knit the knit stitches and purl the purl stitches as you normally would. When binding off, you would knit the knit stitches and purl the purl stitches together to create a neat edge. Continue this pattern across the row until all stitches are bound off.
You can if you seam up the side and it it is a great thing to do for beginners when you have the right pattern, which is the difficult part. Alternatively, if you do not wish to use circular needles you can use DPNs (double pointed needles) to knit in the round. Often in hat patterns which use circular needles you will need DPNs anyway, so it is good to have some of these when you knit in the round.
