DIY Crochet Teardrop Hanging Basket:

This is made in continuous spiral from the start; I would suggest placing a marker at the beginning of each round as you go along.

Crochet Pattern:

Stitches Used: Chain, slip stitch, double crochet, treble crochet.

Round 1: Chain 4 and join with slip stitch to make a ring.

Round 2: Chain 1, work 10dc into ring (10dc)
Round 3: (increase round) 2dc into each stitch around (20dc) (make the first stitch into the dc from previous round)
Round 4: (Inc round) *2dc in next stitch, 1dc in next stitch *repeat from * to * all around (30dc)

Round 5: (Inc round) *2dc in next stitch, 1 dc in next 2 stitches * repeat from * to * all around (40dc)
Round 6: (Inc round) *2dc in next stitch, 1dc in next 3 stitches* repeat from * to * all around (50dc)
Round 7: (Inc round) *2dc in next stitch, 1 dc in next 4 stitches* repeat from * to * all around (60dc)
Round 8: Dc in each stitch around (60dc)
Round 9: Dc in each stitch around (60dc)

Round 10: Dc in next 15 stitches, 1 treble in next 5 stitches, then dc2 together in next 20 stitches, (decreasing these to 10 stitches) then 1 treble in next 5 stitches, 1 dc in next 15 stitches. (50 sts)
Round 11: Dc in next 15 stitches, 1 treble in next 4 stitches, dc2tog for next 12 stitches (to decrease these to 6 stitches) ,1 treble in next 4 stitches, dc in next 15 stitches (44 stitches)
Round 12: Slip stitch in each stitch all way around; add one more slip stitch past your round marker.

Making the Hanging Loop:

1. Chain 16 from the stitch you are in.
2. Slip stitch back into the same stitch.
3. DC into 22 stitches around the chain.
4. Cut a long tail of ribbon yarn and wind around the loop.
5. Sew the tail in, or tuck in at the back.
