Today’s featured crochet designer is our very own Berta Gilholm. Her favorite craft is crochet, then sewing, beading and knitting. When she was 4 years old a favorite aunt taught her to crochet and shereally loved it. It was difficult at first because, she only crocheted beautiful lace like articles out of fine crochet threads like doilies, bedspreads, dainty gloves, etc. By the time she was 5, she was looking for new stitches, larger hooks and fresh patterns. Like all needlework crafters, she was always circulating between 4 or 5 projects at a time.
Berta has created some beautiful patterns for AllFreeCrochet that you’re sure to love!

My favorite is the polka dot purse. What’s yours?
I started the snood headband but run into a problem with the instructions:
Row 15: Sc in each sc across, 2 sc in last stitch, (work around corner on short side) Sc in each row end for 14 sc, ch 16 (4”), Join chain with a Slst at marker on other side of headband, ch 1, sc in next sc on short edge, Sc in each row end for 14 sc, ch 1, turn, (do not fasten off and go to snood instructions)
Do you have a chain 16 on the other end? It does not give the instructions to ch 16 on the other side.
Thanks for any help you can give.
