Just like you would with circular knitting on double-pointed needles, you need to distribute the stitches onto the two circular needles. This is done by sliding the stitches to the opposite end of the first needle and backing the stitches off onto the second circular needle, starting with the first cast-on stitch.
As with circular knitting on double-pointed needles, you also want the number of stitches on each needle to be as close to the same as possible.
Once this has been accomplished, slide the stitches back to the other end of the needles so that the working yarn is again at the top of the needle. Use your favorite method to join in the round, being careful not to twist the stitches and making sure that your working yarn is not inside the circle of stitches.
