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).
I have just discovered that this cord is also known as Romanian cord or Romanian Crochet Cord.
I called this the “Duo Sided Crochet Cord” because both working sides are identical. This is a very strong and beautiful looking cord. You can get a range of varying looks and feel by using different yarns. In fact, the yarn I used in the photo above was called “macrame cord”. You can also easily use this cord for making jewelry. Beads and other attachments are easily crocheted into the work if you so desired.

I still don’t know how to make closeup video tutorials. Plus I often prefer learning from graphics – which are also much faster and easier to re-absorb when one is reminding oneself of a particular technique.
Well, this was a quick and sweet how-to crochet tutorial. Hope you enjoyed this and will use it in your own incredible creations. Namaste crafters!
