Knitting Circle Board Game

Knitting Circle is a beautiful strategy board game for 1-4 players that plays in 30-45 minutes. From the team that brought you Calico, Cascadia, Verdant, Fit to Print, and Nocturne, this cozy game designed by Emily Vincent and developed by the Flatout Games CoLab is a delightfully interactive puzzle with quick drafting, simultaneous play, and satisfying combos. Take on the role of a knitter sitting around the knitting circle with your feline friend, and compete to create the coziest, most beautiful assortment of garments to win the game!

Gather colourful yarn and create a cosy collection of garments in Knitting Circle. Each player joins the circle with a feline companion, drafting yarn tiles from the shared central display before knitting them into mittens, scarves, hats and other projects. Different knit and purl orientations turn each garment into a compact spatial puzzle.

Rounds combine an interactive drafting phase with simultaneous crafting. Move your cat around the circle to collect yarn, then decide whether to start a new garment, add tiles to an existing project or adjust the orientation of your supply. Completed garments earn points through their length, colour combinations, patterns and matching buttons, while an ugly finish may bring a penalty.

Request cards introduce extra scoring challenges and encourage players to pursue new combinations from game to game. Grabby Paw tokens can secure a needed tile directly from the bag, and completion bonuses help build satisfying chains of actions. Designed as a standalone follow-up to Calico, the game supports one to four knitters and includes a dedicated solo mode.
