Crochet a double chain
I personally hate to start crocheting in rows with a chain base, especially when i have to crochet in the two sides of the chain (like in the case of irish leaves), and i found this tecnique to be very useful to give speed to my projects...so, let's start!

    You now can picot and work in the other side inserting the hook directly in the holes, or you can turn your work and leave a chained border easy to be crocheted or to be left as it is. :)
