I am working on Underwood's pattern 12 and struggling with the trail joins. Which of these methods from this video would work for these trail joins or do you have other recommendations. A video on Pattern 12 with trail crossings especially the corner would be so so helpful
the next pin would be continuing along the trail, left and right, once the 4 pins in the crossing have been worked once, they aren't reused if that is what you mean by the same pin? The next pin is the one in the trail on each side.
How do you tell when to close after a pin and when to leave it with the pin uncovered? So far I am following instructions and this is something that I haven't yet found out the "why" or "what functions this serve" or "this desirable effect".
The long answer is it depends... on this situation, the loop around the pin at the start of the crossing, is worked as shown, in order that it looks like a twisted pair going around the pin in the rest of the trail. If you covered the pin that would create a different visual look to the pin. It isn't critical but just a small detail. In other laces there are often rules about covering pins, for example in point ground where the pins aren't covered and that is part of the technique of the lace. Generally it is what effect you are trying to achieve in the lace as to whether or not pins are covered, and guided by the rules of tradition, but like any rules, they can be broken, if you are wanting a different look for some reason, contemporary lace often has subtle changes like that. Hope that helps

I haven't had the time recently to do any filming but have made a note to look at this one.
gracias
Thank you. After the crossing do you work the same pin if you continue?
I have the same question. Can you show how you would work the next pin after the first option?

@@LouiseWestLace thanks for your answer.
