Free large-print knitting word search, wool, needles, cables, and the quiet click of a satisfying row coming together.

About Knitting

Something about the rhythm of knitting is deeply calming, the soft click of needles, the growing weight of fabric in your lap, the way a skein of wool becomes a sweater one stitch at a time. Cable patterns twist and cross like little braided roads across the fabric, while the humble knit-purl combination gives garter and ribbing their familiar stretch and texture. Whether you favor chunky Aran wool or fine merino, every project begins the same way: a slip knot, a cast-on, and the first row.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word.Tap its first letter, then tap along to its last. The trail fills in and finishes itself when it spells a word. Or press the first letter and drag.
  2. 2
    Words run in straight lines.Across and down, and on the harder difficulties diagonally and backwards.
  3. 3
    It marks itself.Each word you find takes on its own soft colour on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.Relaxed, Classic or Challenging set those directions and how much the word list helps, never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
