Freya’s Echo is exclusively available to Wardrobe Toolbox members until early-2026.
Embark on a dreamy knitting adventure inspired by Viking winters and gorgeously textured, patterned sweaters. Freya’s Echo will take you there.
Perfect for pairing with long, wintry skirts, dresses, or trousers, this captivating sweater blends beauty and technique.
Worked in light fingering weight yarn, Freya’s Echo invites you to delight in the twists and turns of Latvian Braids (with a linked video tutorial to guide you), float through the graceful yarnovers and decreases of lace at the yoke, and journey into a sea of colourwork icecaps.
The body and sleeves flow effortlessly, with the sleeves finishing in a playful floof that’s gently gathered into a neat cuff, while the folded neckband curves beautifully for a full, luxurious finish.
Let your colours sing with vibrant bands and joyful pops.
Freya’s Echo includes both charts and written instructions and, while not overly difficult, she’s perfect for knitters with a dash of adventurous spirit.
