Joining the Sunflower Motifs

The video demonstrates how to join multiple sunflower motifs to create a larger piece.

The motifs are joined from the inside to maintain a neat appearance.
The joining is done by picking up loops from the outer side of the chains, ensuring the design remains undisturbed.
Green sections are joined to green sections, and white sections to white sections, to maintain color consistency and neatness in the overall design.
