Crochet

When my summer vacation started 3 weeks ago, I decided I wanted to use some of the time on learning to crochet. So I have been watching lots of videos on YouTube and made several little samples, and I have so far made 3 dish cloths, but I will only show 2 of them here, since the third one got very crooked, so I didn't finish it with a border. But here are the 2 I have made:

The striped one is a corner to corner (C2C) and turned out to be really easy, and I can definitely recommend trying this pattern if you are a newbie like me.
