Construction by isotopy is a technique introduced by Iain R. Aitchison for obtaining doubly slice fibered knots in any dimension. We show that if $k$ is any doubly slice fibered $(n - 2)$-knot, $n \geqslant 5$, such that ${\pi _1}({S^n} - k) \cong Z$, then $k$ is constructible by isotopy. We also prove that the $m$-twist-spin of any doubly slice knot is constructible by isotopy. Consequently, there exists a double slice knot constructible by isotopy that is not the double of any disk knot. We also give an example of a doubly slice fibered $6$-knot that is not constructible by isotopy.
