How do I tie a Lark's Head Knot?

A Lark's Head knot is a term used by some, such as the Boy Scouts, to describe a hitch that goes around an object, and more often called a Cow Hitch, and also referred to as a Bale Sling. This is made my forming a single hitch, followed by a second single hitch in the opposite direction. This then present the working end and the standing part together side-by-side.

If the item to be secured has a free end, this hitch can be made very quickly by forming a small loop in the line, pull it ack toward the two ends (standing and working), and sliding the object between the 2 loops formed, and pulling tight.
