About the game
Get your needles and yarn ready, because Knitting Circle is here to warm your heart (and your table)! If you enjoyed the spatial challenge and cute patterns of Calico, you'll love this standalone follow-up. Here, we become competitive knitters, aiming to create the coziest and most stylish garments. The gameplay is straightforward and addictive: grab colorful yarns from the central basket and start assembling your creations, paying close attention to color combinations and the patterns you need to form. Each completed garment is worth points, with extra bonuses for adding buttons and fulfilling secret scoring objectives. And don't worry if the perfect yarn slips away; your furry feline friend is there to help, dipping its paws into the basket to snag the best material. With objectives that change each game and dozens of unique knitting 'recipe' templates, Knitting Circle ensures every play is a new and delightful spatial puzzle. It's a game for the whole family, with accessible rules but offering strategic depth for those who enjoy planning every move. Perfect for relaxing and exercising your mind at the same time!
