I see that you have lots of replies, but for thoroughness, here is the Italian instruction text that I have, followed by my rough translation into English:
Per eseguire il punto mimosa montare 4 copie di fuselli, lavorare a punto tela puntando da una parte lo spillo che tiene la finizione a piede e ottenuta come segue: prima di eseguire l'ultimo punto, girare su se stessa per due volte l'ultima coppia e quella in lavorazione, fremandole con uno spillo all'interno dell'intreccio, mentre dall'altra parte completare con un mezzo punto; abbandonare la coppia più esterna e reprendere la lavorazione con la penultima coppia, senza fissare alcuno spillo. To execute the mimosa stitch hang four pairs work in cloth stitch (punto tela) pushing to one side the pin that holds the footside (finizione a piede), which is completed as follows: Before working the last stitch, give two twists to the last pair of passives and to the workers, marking them with a pin on the inside of the plait, while finishing the other side with a half stitch; drop the outside pair and take up the work with the next-to-last pair without placing a pin.
