Reading Crochet Patterns in... (#4) Czech

Hello lovely Hookers! Today I have another translation post for you from my series "Reading Crochet Patterns in..."
Today  I decided to do the language Czech, since I have recently become obsessed with the language and anything Czech Republic! Unfortunately, there aren't a ton of crochet patterns out there in Czech, but they definitely do exist, and they are wonderful!

Please feel free to correct me or suggest any add-ons if you please! They are most certainly welcome.
