Inspired by Yennefer of Vengerberg from the Witcher books, Geralt’s true love. This shawl is designed to embody the powerful character who refuses to conform to female stereotypes. As a sorceress, Yen is known for her signature violet eyes and the scent of lilac and gooseberry that follows her wherever she goes.

Knitted in a soft and lightweight BKD yarn, this shawl is perfect for the spring season. Whether you choose to knit it in vibrant colors (get inspo from wonderful choices Dana made for our kits!) or in black and white to match Yennefer’s iconic clothing, this shawl is sure to turn heads and become a staple in your spring wardrobe.
