Click on the spools to complete the braid in the picture. If there is a path, the threads are wound onto the spool. The filled reel goes into the slot. If the color in the picture matches the reel in the slot, the threads start to weave. As the braids are completed, new pieces will unlock in the picture. You will be successful when you complete the picture by knitting. When you collect the threads that do not match the picture, the reels wait in the slot. If all slots are filled it will fail.
