Crocheting with multiple threads at once

[Calliope]

I have a pattern that instructs to crochet said project with two threads of the same color together. My questions are: 1. Do I make two seperate slip knots using different ends of the same skein? Or, do I knot the strands/threads together and make one slip knot with both ends tied together? For a lack of better phrasing I pose this...after the threads are on the hook and I am performing the dc, when I pull through the last two on my hook, do I pull through all the hoops on my hook if there are more than two because of the slip knot from two threads?

 

 

Thank you.

Unless the pattern specifically says otherwise, you want to treat the two threads as though they were one.

I think it would be easier for you to use 2 separate skeins of yarn too.  I know it is for myself.
