The Thistle Garden cardigan is knit in Zen Yarn Garden's Serenity Worsted yarn. In fact, it was designed to be knit with this beautiful, glorious stuff.
or, purchase the kit from ZYG.
I'd never worked with ZYG before, but after having created this cardigan with it, Serenity Worsted has shot to the top of my favourite yarns list!
Just check out that colourway!
And seriously, even if you don't care for Thistle Garden, I recommend getting yourself at least one hank of Zen Yarn Garden's stuff. Just check out their site for your closest retailer.
Here's the details about the cardigan:
You don’t have to say good bye to lace in the cold weather! Thistle
Garden will keep you warm and satisfy your desire for lace at the same
time.
The worsted weight used in this pattern is worked up in a textural seed stitch, providing a comfortable and casual knit you’ll find yourself wearing throughout the chilly months.
Lace decorates the cuffs and front closure; the overlapping lace panel is unobstructed by buttons, and instead has two rows of snaps to fasten the cardigan.
Nearly seamless, the top down raglan design skims your body with waist shaping and 0 ease.
This pattern features both written and charted instructions for the lace.

Wowie! This is a gorgeous sweater! It's only Jan 2 and already my resolution to knit what I have yarn for first is being tested...
Absolutely gorgeous!! The yarn looks so yummy in the seed stitch, and the lace is so pretty! Now if I could only clone myself so I could have time to make one....
