I use a clove hitch, approximately. The last "tuck" goes under both the starting end, and the wrapped middle section.
Here's my usual method. Make a right-angle fold.
Wrap once
Wrap a second time, tuck upward underneath the previous 2 layers. This makes a second right-angle fold.
Let it hang down.
fold the cuff
Adjust seasoning.
For comparison, the classical clove hitch.
