Oversized tunic with angles armholes, colorwork bans, crewneck and ribbed borders. By Missoni.

From Vogue Knitting, Fall 1993:
“Vibrant, striking color knit in arresting patterns, featured here in a tunic of colorwork stripes alternating with bands of novelty yarn. The perfect pairing of tone and texture for fall.”

Note that the colorwork bands could be worked as intarsia or stranded, but beware that some sections of the charts have more than two colors per row.
