Moon pillow

Here's a pillow I made for a co-worker for his new baby.

I  made it as an update of some pillows I designed for Crochet Today! Magazine in 2008:

The pastel ones are made in Red Heart's Moon and Stars yarn, a nice terrycloth type texture when crocheted, but unfortunately the yarn was discontinued. (Why discontinue such a nice yarn?) For the new one, I used Isaac Mizrahi's brand new Carlyle yarn in a lovely grey ombre called Pierre. It's a soft, bulky yarn, with a tiny bit of metallic. Good night, Moon, indeed!
