Perfect for cozy gatherings and family game nights, this standalone tile-laying adventure combines the joy of crafting, the fun of puzzles, and the charm of cats.

In Knitting Circle, you’re not just knitting—you're crafting something truly unique.

As passionate knitters, players gather vibrant yarn to weave intricate patterns and create the warmest, most stylish garments.

But it’s not just about speed!

The secret to winning lies in mastering the art of color coordination and matching your patterns to ever-changing scoring goals. Every round presents fresh challenges, making every move a mix of creativity and clever strategy.

And let’s not forget the star of the show: your helpful feline companion!

These adorable cats use their "grabby paws" to help you pick the perfect yarn from the central basket, adding a playful twist to each turn and a dash of surprise to your strategy.

With simple mechanics, Knitting Circle is designed for players of all skill levels—from kids to grandparents!

Each round is broken into two engaging phases: collect yarn and knit garments. In the first phase, players move around the Knitting Circle Board, choosing from an array of colorful yarn tiles to gather the perfect materials. In the second phase, they use these tiles to complete their garment patterns, ensuring that every stitch matches the needed colors and patterns on their garment cards.

Beneath the cozy exterior lies a rich puzzle game, where players must balance smart decisions, pattern matching, and bonus objectives to come out on top.

Whether you're a casual gamer or a seasoned puzzle enthusiast, Knitting Circle offers endless replayability and fresh challenges with every game.


[h2]A New Puzzle Every Time You Play[/h2]

One of Knitting Circle’s most exciting features is its endless variety.

With dozens of unique garment cards and variable scoring goals, no two games are the same. The random draw of yarn tiles and shifting objectives ensures every session feels brand new, keeping players on their toes and their strategies evolving.

Gather friends and family, and enjoy a game that delivers laughter, creativity, and friendly competition. It’s not just about crafting garments—it’s about creating cherished moments that last.
