Step one: the white cross

The easiest way to put together the white cross is by a two-part procedure:

Part one:

At first, we form a white cross around the yellow piece (top image, in the middle), as shown in the photo. For now, we won't be interested in other colors.

The next video will show you the moves (rotations) to be used to reach the goal one.
Pay attention to the prearrangement rotations before putting the pieces in their final position.



Part two:

Now we are paying attention to the colors of the pieces on the sides of the white cross and the colours in the middle of each side of the Rubik’s Cube. When we match these two colors, we rotate their sides for 180 degrees.
