Here, the threads are the same thickness, as they should be. Perhaps the edge thread is a bit thicker. There are four threads in the passives, but they are treated in a strange way, with the middle two threads treated as a single threads with the workers either passing over both, or under both.

The overall look is quite a good replica of a cloth winkie pin. But the passives look thin, and there is no bumps along the edge, as in winkie pin footsides. If it was a cloth footside, then there would be a distinction between the edge pair and the passives.
