From Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 1993:
“Innovative details with nothing neutral about their appeal. Julia Paterson’s tunic with lace insets uses rayon for openwork stitched blocks to create a matte and shiny effect.”

Ravelry lists Cotton Classic as a dk-weight yarn, but worsted weight is perhaps more accurate, and more appropriate for this pattern.
