Double knitting is a simple colorwork technique that creates a reversible fabric in two colors suitable for beginners. You can also use it to knit two at a time or in the round but most people just use it for simple colorwork.

The basic double knitting repeat goes like this:
1. Bring both yarns to the back
2. knit one stitch using yarn A
3. bring both yarns to the front
4. purl one stitch using yarn B

Now, if you follow this repeat, you will create two pieces that are not connected at the sides. That white most people will want to employ a special double knitting selvage. So in every row

1. Knit the first stitch through back loop
2. Bring the yarns to the front and twist them
3. Purl the next stitch trapping the other color in between
4. When you reach the second to last stitch: Bring the yarns to the back and slip the stitch purlwise
5. Bring the yarns to the front, and slip the last stitch purlwise as well.

For changing colors in double knitting, you don't actually need a special technique. All you need to do is knitting a knit stitch for the front side in a different color. But when you do, make sure that you also purl the next stitch using a different (ie the other) color as well.
