A neat cardigan worked top-down, with hour-glass cables created using twisted stitches.  The Horology pattern can be found in the book Sark (but only in English).  Laine des Îles is the only shop authorised by Kate Davies to provide a French version of the pattern.

The cardigan is worked from the top down, casting on a few stitches, placing cable panels for sleeves and back, and increasing in pattern to shape the upper body and front neckline.  Stitches are then cast on for each front, where two further cable panels are placed, before shaping the sleeves and upper body with raglan increases.  Sleeve caps are divided and set aside, then the body is worked to the desires length.  Sleeves are picked up and worked top-down, before front bands and neck edging are worked.  I-cord buttonholes complete the cardigan.
