MellowMe Cast On (MM Cast On) is my personal nickname for this crochet method of starting the foundation row in lieu of the standard chain cast on. The MM Cast On also makes a great crochet cord!

This is the Romanian cord or Romanian Crochet cord. Before I learnt this before I knew its proper name. I used to call this the duo sided crochet cord: one of my favourite ways of crocheting a cord. Lately I have been using them as strong and beautiful drawstring cords for some tapestry crochet bags I have been making. (My other top favourite crochet cord is the finger crochet cord).
