Don't forget to replace the pin in the hole *before* you pull both bobbins
down - noted by my (* * LARGE CASE) in T's directions. Tie the reef knot
while the pin is still in place by gently securing it under the edge of the
pin head.

Yes. There are other ways of joining, but, to begin with, a fine crochet
hook is going to be your best friend. When you come close to the end of
your hankie edging, re-pin the the first bit -- head-to-head -- paying
*particular* attention to the first pins (the ones on which you had hung
the pairs). When you reach those, using the crochet hook make "sewings" :
Pull the pin out. Put the hook through the pin-loop and catch one thread
of the incoming pair at the end part of the lace. Pull that thread
(through the pin-loop) till it forms a largish loop. Put the second bobbin
of the same pair through the pulled loop. ** (REPLACE PIN) Pull both
bobbins down, till the "pulled loop" settles around the "pin-loop".
Repeat, until all the incoming pairs are "sewed" into the corresponding
originating pin-loops.
