It's easy. Hold the bight in each hand so that it forms a U-shape
pointing away from you. Cross your left hand over the top of your
right forming a closed loop. Put loop over top of piling. Repeat
with the running end of the bight, and drop that loop over the piling
on top of the first. You should now have a clove hitch around the
piling. Once you do it a couple of times it becomes second nature.

Yep, I was being lazy about describing. Thanks for the time.
