GERALT OF RIVIA (THE WITCHER)

This is an adaptation of my male doll to make a doll of Geralt of Rivia from the Netflix movie called The Witcher. The Witcher is a Polish-American Fantasy drama web television series produced by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich. It is based on the book series of the same name by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. The series stars Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia. I will admit that making Geralt of Rivia was not easy. There are a lot of detail pieces on him. B crochet hook is only used on the WOLF NECKLACE MEDALLION.
