Close Knit is an All-Play Minigame in Wii Party U.

Gameplay

The players must hold down the D-Pad and the 2 Button and shake their Wii Remotes to knit a scarf as fast and long as they can. They have only 7 seconds to do it.

Controls

• Hold the Wii Remote horizontally.
• Shake the Wii Remote while holding the D-Pad and 2-button to knit. If you aren't holding both buttons, you won't be able to knit.

Gameplay (Spot the Sneak)

In Spot the Sneak, the Sneak can hold down the B button to knit at the fastest possible speed.

Trivia

• Distances are measured in inches in the American-English translation, and in centimeters in the other versions.
  • Unlike most other minigames of this caliber, the measurements are actually recorded differently: 1 inch in the American version roughly equivalates to 2.51 centimeters in other versions, thus scores will be x2.51 times higher in centimeters than in inches.
    • This is slightly inaccurate to reality, as 1 inch should actually equivalate to 2.54 centimeters.
  • Technically, this makes ties more likely in the American-English translation than elsewhere.
• The max distance a player can knit is 399 inches/999 centimeters, only when using Spot the Sneak controls.
• When a player's scarf touches the ground, their Mii will stand up.
  • If any player has yet to knit their scarf to the floor - thus remaining sitting - when the timer hits 0, they will stand up when the time ends.
• There is a single white yarn ball in each basket which doesn't get used at all. You can tell because there isn't a white yarn string connected to the knitting needles.

  

  See how Helen does not have the white yarn connected to her needles.

  • If you play a 3 player game, one of the baskets will have 2 white yarn balls instead of 1.
• From the start, all Miis are set to angry face, until the time is up, when they become happy.
• Kentaro, Sho, Masako, and Akira appear in the rules of this minigame.
