Tying
a Clove Hitch : Animated Knots

Pass the rope around the vertical bar and repeat it the other way
round as shown in the animation above.
If you are in a situation where the clove hitch may unroll, add a
couple of half hitches with the running end to the standing end of
the knot, turning it into a "Clove Hitch and Two Half
Hitches"!
When pioneering, use the Round turn and two half hitches to start
and finish your lashings instead of the Clove Hitch. It won't
unroll, and is easier to finish tying off. It just does not look so
neat!
