The game is played in two alternating phases to complete each level. 1. Solve the Sliding Block Puzzle: The primary task is to solve the sliding block puzzle located at the bottom of the screen. To do this, slide the various colored blocks horizontally or vertically to clear a path. The goal is to move the special blocks shaped like spools of thread to the exit area on the right side of the grid. 2. Collect Spools of Thread: Each time a spool-shaped block is successfully moved out of the puzzle, it appears as a usable spool of thread in the designated slots at the top of the screen. 3. Complete the Knitting Pattern: After collecting spools, tap on a spool and drag its thread to the knitting pattern above. You must match the color of the thread to the corresponding colored section of the pattern. The thread will automatically fill in that part of the design. 4. Repeat the Process: Continue to solve the sliding puzzle to acquire more spools of different colors as needed. Use these spools to knit all the remaining sections of the pattern. The level is won once the entire knitting pattern is complete.
The number displayed on the exit gate of the sliding puzzle indicates how many more spool blocks need to be moved out to complete that puzzle stage. Each spool contains a limited amount of thread, so you may need to solve the puzzle multiple times to collect enough spools of the same color for larger sections.
In the sliding block puzzle, it is often most effective to clear an entire row or column to create a clear path for the spool block you want to move. Plan your moves in advance to solve the sliding puzzle more efficiently, as it is the main challenge required to progress.
