# Pass the working end around the anchor object.  Bring it back alongside of the standing part and make a half-hitch around the standing part.
# Continue with another wrap inside the loop, effectively making a [[round turn]] around the standing part.
# Complete with a half-hitch outside the loop, made in the same direction as the first two wraps, as for a clove hitch.
# Dress by snugging the hitch firmly around the standing part.  Load slowly and adjust as necessary.
