Insert the hook into a stitch and pick up an additional white strand. There are two loops on the hook: one white and one brick red.

Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Now pick up the brick-red yarn and finish the single crochet. This forms a little "V".

Crochet the spots in random order. Start from the third round and crochet every odd round in a checkerboard order. If you want, you can crochet them in every round, just not in the last one.
