The primary objective is to fill in the knitted pattern at the top of the screen by connecting the spools of thread to their corresponding color blocks. To do this, you must drag a line from a colored spool to the matching color section on the pattern. The central part of the screen is a puzzle grid with movable colored pins. You must slide these pins into empty slots to create clear, unobstructed paths for the threads to travel from the spools to the pattern. Once a spool's thread is fully used to fill its section, the spool disappears. The level is won when the entire pattern is completed.
The most important rule is that the lines of thread cannot cross over each other. You must find a clear path for every single connection. The game gives you a limited number of lives, indicated by the heart icon in the top-right corner, so you cannot make an infinite number of mistakes.
Strategic Pin Movement: The key to solving the puzzle is strategically moving the pins in the middle grid. You will often need to move a pin out of the way to connect one thread, and then move it back to clear a path for a different colored thread. Plan Ahead: Before connecting a thread, look at the other colors you need to connect and try to move the pins in a way that opens up future paths. Limited Move Pins: Pay close attention to pins that have a number on them, as this indicates a limited number of moves. Use these moves wisely, as they are a finite resource for solving the puzzle.
