Twelve pictures, from a 5 by 5 heart to a 15 by 15 castle. Finished ones show their picture.

How to weave

A pattern is hidden in the loom. The numbers tell you which cells to weave. Use them to work out every cell, and the pattern appears.

1 · Read a row's numbers

The numbers beside a row are the lengths of its woven runs, in order from left to right. Between runs there is always at least one bare cell. Every other cell in the row stays bare.

0a 0 means the whole row stays bare

Columns work the same way, read from top to bottom.

2 · Find the cells that must be woven

You never have to guess. In a row of 5 with the number 4, the run can start at the first cell or the second. Either way it covers the middle three, so weave those now.

Each cell you place also counts toward its column, and that unlocks more cells. Work back and forth between rows and columns.

3 · Use knots for the cells that stay bare

When you know a cell is empty, tie a knot (×) on it. Knots don't count toward anything. They're notes for you, so you stop second-guessing that cell.

Controls

When every number is met, the cloth comes off the loom and takes its dyes. Start with a 10-wide loom.
