    White cross

    What you should end up with

    Four white edges sit around the white centre, and their other colours match the side centres. No formulas here, just simple turns.

    The diagram shows the cube from below, where the white face is.

    How to do it

    1. First build the daisy: four white edges around the yellow centre, white side up. This is easier than building the cross on the bottom straight away.
    2. Find a white edge that is not a petal yet and handle it with one of the cases below.
    3. Before turning a side face, turn the top (U) so the spot above it is free. Otherwise you knock out a petal you already placed.

    The daisy: bringing a white edge to the top

    3D
    In the middle layer, on the right Hold the cube with the white sticker facing you. The edge is on the right: turn the right face and it goes up, white side on top.

    3D
    In the middle layer, on the left The same, but the edge is on the left: turn the left face upwards, away from you.

    On the bottom, white side down Hold the edge at the front, free the spot above it and turn the front face halfway.

    On the bottom, white side out Hold the white sticker towards you, free the spot above this face and turn it once. The edge lands in the middle layer on the left: that is the second case.

    On top, white side out Hold the white sticker towards you and turn this face once. The edge lands in the middle layer on the right: that is the first case.

    From the daisy to the cross

    3D
    Bring a petal down Look at the petal's side colour. Turn the top until that colour matches the centre below it, then turn that face halfway. White goes to the bottom. Do this with all four.

    If it does not work

    ›An edge is already on the bottom? Bring it up to the daisy anyway, so there is one rule for all of them.
    ›Once this step feels easy, try building the cross directly on the bottom, without the daisy. That is how CFOP does it.
