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.

I hope this is helpful,
Sr. Claire
