Knit Stitch Catch
Tap to flick yarn threads into matching knitting needles before the pattern breaks.
A knitting grid sits at the top; colored threads rise from the bottom — tap a column to send the thread up; threads land in the matching needle and complete a row of a growing knit pattern; mismatches drop and lose a heart.
Single-thumb tap on a column to launch the rising thread upward.
