While the Round Turn and Two Half Hitches has somewhat poor security, it can serve non-critical, general utility purposes when you need to maintain some tension on the line, such as bundling up branches with twine. As shown on the Power of Friction page, making turns or wraps around an object helps take force. This assistance allows the final two intuitive tucks around the parent line without much dexterity, while maintaining tension. The diagram is shown with the rope untightened for clarity.
The final two tucks can be made on the bight, and, of course, the number of turns or half hitches can be varied to suit your needs, but do not use these variations as a substitute for a more secure hitch.
