You can also switch, the "we" dynamic establishes you and another person, you can also address them individually, or impersonally, as a teacher might. I've done this in highly technical instructional documents (mathematical). But for an example consider some cooking project:

The first thing we need to do is Step A, then we can do step B, prepare the pan. But beware, after A many people are tempted to jump to step C, but you don't want to do that, because once you finish step C you cannot stop to prepare the pan. So once we have the pan prepared, then we do step C, and when that is blended we pour it right in the pan, don't [you] let it settle.

The emphasis isn't for reading, just to highlight the different forms of address, including an implied [you].
