The challenge

Join neighbouring regions with stitches while satisfying all numerical clues.

How to play

Every pair of neighbouring regions must be joined by exactly one stitch, and each stitch crosses a border between two orthogonally adjacent cells.
No cell may contain two holes, and the outside clues indicate the exact number of holes in each row and column.

Advanced strategies

Each pair of neighbouring regions needs exactly one stitch; cross-check this with the hole counts for rows and columns.
