The objective of the game is to fill a gridded pattern at the top of the screen with colored yarn. To do this, the player taps a spool of colored thread and then taps the corresponding section on the pattern to knit it. Each spool has a limited amount of yarn, indicated by a percentage. To replenish the yarn or get new colors, the player must solve a sliding block puzzle at the bottom of the screen. By moving the colored discs around, the player can free up and collect new spools of thread to continue knitting. The player must strategically switch between knitting the main pattern and solving the puzzle to ensure they have the necessary colors.
The video begins by indicating that Level 366 is a "HARD LEVEL." Players must carefully manage their yarn supply, as each spool is finite. Running out of a needed color will halt progress on the main pattern until the corresponding spool is acquired from the puzzle below. The game also features a life system, indicated by a heart icon in the top right corner.
A key strategy is to efficiently manage the puzzle at the bottom to anticipate which colors will be needed next. It is sometimes necessary to use up an entire spool of a less-needed color simply to clear space in the puzzle area. The player in the video frequently works on multiple color sections at once, depending on which yarn spools are currently available, rather than trying to complete one color section entirely before moving to the next. This flexible approach is crucial for solving the level.
