Select your Object Selector. Right click on your hook and choose Node Edit. The top of the curve nodes you want to change to symmetrical and work them into a nice smooth curve. If your right click on your hook and choose Quit Node Edit you can take a look at how you are doing.
Go back into node edit. Add a node right above the bottom one. Grab the bottom node and drag it down lengthening it.
Set the added node to cusp (it may already set at that). Bring the bottom node up and to the left side of the straight line. Pull out and rotate the right side adjuster for the added node to round it out. Pull the added node down below the ring.
Shorten the left side adjuster of the added node to straighten out the vertical line. Go through each node and fine tune your hanger.
