The steps of construction are followings:

(i) Given \bar{AB} whose length is not known.

(ii) Fix the compasses pointer on A and the pencil end on B. The opening of the instrument now gives the length of\bar{AB}the.

(iii) Draw any line 'l'. Choose a point P 'l'. Without changing the compass's setting, place the pointer on Q.

(iv) Draw an arc that cuts 'l'  at a point R.

(v) Now place the pointer on R and without changing the compass's setting, draw another arc that cuts 'l' at a point Q.

This \bar{PQ} is the required line segment whose length is twice that of AB.
