I am looking at the OIDFA Point Ground Study Book on the Picots page - there are 23 different point ground laces listed in the chart, each using one or more of *18* different ways to make a picot. Some of the picot methods depend on what else is done immediately at the picot, in the headside.
Methods vary: twists before and after the pin, or only before, or only after, or none at all. Eleven methods use an odd number of twists. Five use an even number of twists. Of the other two, one has no twists (CTC, pin, CTC for Blonde de Caen) and the other looks like the picot pair is tied in a half-hitch at the pin (interesting). This is an excellent reference of charts on the components of the different point ground laces in the study. This resource was first published in 2001. The coordinator was Pam Nottingham.
