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!

-
Crochet 2 chains, insert the hook only into the back loop of the first chain...
-
... yarn over, pull out a loop, yarn over and pull out throught the two loops.
We have crocheted a single crochet :) -
To continue the double chain, we have to insert the hook...well, i don't know if there is a specific name...where you see the arrow :)
-
Then yarn over, pull out a loop, yarn over and pull out throught the 2 loops.
Repeat this step till the desired lenght, you can count the chains on the right. -
Once achieved the desired lenght, crochet one/two/three chains depending on the stitch you'll go to use, and work on the left side of the double chain, in the holes you see near the chain.
-
All done!
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. :)
