Free Written Pattern
Crochet a circle with a radius equivalent to the width of the object you want to place inside.
Foundation Ring: Ch 5, sl st into a ring.
Round 1: Ch 3 , 15 dc in ring, sl st to top of ch-3.
Round 2: Ch 5, (dc, ch 2) 14x, hdc into 3rd ch of ch-5.
Round 3: Ch 2, dc2tog in hdc-sp, (ch 4, cluster in next ch-sp) 15x, ch 1, dc on top of dc2tog.
Round 4: (Sc in ch-sp, ch 4) 16x, sl st to 1st sc.
Round 5: [(3 sc, ch 1, 3 sc) in ch-sp] 16x, sl st to the 1st three sts.

Maintain the number of stitches in the next rounds until you have doubled the radius, while adding a 3-dc group in each round to create the teardrop shape.

Round 8: Ch 2, 3 dc in dc, hdc on all remaining dc's, sl st to top of ch-2.
Round 9: Ch 4, sk 1 st, 3dc in same stitch, (ch 1, sk 1 st, dc) 41x, ch 1, sl st into 3rd ch of ch-4, sl st into ch-sp.
Round 10: Ch 2, dc, ch 1, sk 1 dc, 3 dc in same st, (ch 1, dc2tog in ch-sp) 41x, ch 1, sl st to 1st dc, sl st to ch sp.
Divide the resulting number of stitches into three parts and decrease the number of stitches for the second part, the one across the 3-dc group. In the second to the last round, add a handle
