Yarn Puzzle Game
Cozy Knits is a calm knitting puzzle about taking things apart, one strand at a time. Unravel colorful yarn onto matching spools and free the cute felt pet hiding inside each knitted object. Free in your browser.
A puzzle made of yarn
Each level is a little knitted object, like a beanie, a mitten, a sock, a cupcake or a teddy bear, made of colorful strands that overlap each other. Tap a loose end and that strand unravels row by row and winds onto the wooden spool of the same color at the bottom of the screen, with soft whooshes and ticks. It is a sorting puzzle at heart, but it feels like winding wool by the fire.
How to play
- Tap a loose yarn end. Strands with nothing on top of them show a small glowing knob.
- The strand winds onto the spool of its color. Three strands fill a spool, and a full spool is replaced by a new color.
- If no spool matches, the yarn waits in the tray. When a matching spool arrives, waiting yarn jumps onto it by itself.
- Clear every strand to free the pet. If all five tray slots fill up, the level is lost and you can try again.
Tips from the knitting basket
- Feed the spools first. Tap strands that match a current spool before strands that would go to the tray.
- Watch the spools. A spool that is almost full will soon make room for a new color.
- Darker strands are covered. Clear the ones on top of them first.
- Keep the tray nearly empty. Three stars go to levels where the tray never held more than one strand.
- Stuck? The 💡 button shows a safe next move (a level finished with a hint earns up to two stars).
Pets to collect
Every finished level frees a needle-felted pet: a kitten, a puppy, a bunny, a fox, a panda, a hamster, a hedgehog and a lamb all wait to move into your Pet Basket. There are 24 levels across ten knitted objects, from a simple beanie to a woven yarn ball, and each one is checked by a solver so there is always a way to clear it.

Planning ahead with the tray
The tray is the heart of Cozy Knits. When you pull a strand and no spool matches its color, the yarn waits in the tray, and when a matching spool arrives, waiting yarn jumps onto it by itself. That is helpful, but the tray has only five slots, and if all five fill up the level is lost. So before you tap, look at the colors of the spools on show and prefer strands that match them. Only send a strand to the tray when it uncovers several new loose ends underneath. Three strands fill a spool, so counting colors helps too: if two strands of one color are already free, find the third before you start another color. Clear every strand to free the pet inside, and simply try again if a level gets away from you.
