Picots headside. See pattern 378.
This is not a standard Bucks Point headside. Indeed, it is hard to say whether it is a headside or a footside. It seems to work, though. It is similar to Picots and passives headside, but without the passives. There is ground or other lace to the right.
Pattern representation of a Picots headside
This diagram shows each thread as a line. The stitches used in this footside are Bucks point net and picots. The details of each stitch are not shown in detail below - follow the links in the previous sentence if you are not familiar with them.

Working: A pair will come into the headside from the lace on the right. This is the worker pair. Work it as a picot round the pin. Picots are a little tricky, so if you have not done them before, study the picot diagrams carefully. A picot ends with twisting the pair (so don't forget this!) It now re-enters the lace.
The diagram shows two units of headside, in order to show that it is not the same worker pair, necessarily, which is used in the headside each time (unlike a fan for example). The worker disappears into the lace, and another worker pair takes its place. I have deliberately fuzzed what the stitch is in the lace, as that would depend on the pattern. In Bucks Point, it is unlikely to be anything as simple as a simple swap over - Bucks Point net will split up the pairs. But I am trying to keep the diagram simple.
