Knitting slippers on 2 circlular needles - Help

I have been working on slippers by Coco Knits, Pleated Ballet Flats and now working on a pair - Malabrigo Loafers (Coco Knits too). I have never knitted on 2 circular needles and I HATE it, it took me a while to figure out to do the ballet slippers.

I enjoy using double pointed needles, wondering if I can use then instead.???

I just watched the video on using 2 circular needles, Coco Knits pattern suggested this site and it is so confusing, I was doing it my own way but it seems to be so hard… help.

I love the slippers and making them for gifts, my daughter loved her ballet slippers - they did come out ok, but the process seemed so hard for such a little item.

any suggestions???

If you don’t have too many sts for dpns, go ahead and switch.
