This fashion winner — a sleeveless suit with its knitted skirt and crochet jacket — can be made in a variety of yarns. Even a beginner could successfully knit and crochet this easy-line sleeveless suit for summer wear.

The jacket, with its delicate edging and casual bow tied at the neckline, is worked in easy-to-crochet stitches; the skirt is knitted and shaped to the figure. Inspired by Chanel, the cool ensemble would be a fashion success with any age group. If it is required for summer use, then make it up in easy-to-care-for synthetic yarn.
