The ones that started it all!
The whole reason I learned to knit was just for this pattern.
Maybe someday I'll get around

Dress Top Tunic
Darling little summer tunic - (basically a long, sleeveless sweater). Although shown with shorts in this magazine cover picture, it also has a matching ribbed mini skirt.
The description states it has a ribbed yolk with rolled edging over tubing at neck and armholes. .....Tubing?? Huh?
Considering this was 1968, I'm surprised they even bothered with the shorts or the skirt. But it's nice to know that those of us who were not blessed with 'racehorse' legs would have still been able to be in fashion!.
I'm practicing a pattern from 1981 for my husband, where the ribbing pattern and collar at the top look a lot like this...
