This is how I did it
With standing end on left of ring bring Working End through ring and make half hitch.

Bring WE through ring and from left to right through crossing point and pull snug

When there is roon for only one more hitch bring WE through the ring and UP through the loop holding the Standing End

Next bring WE through the crossing point and DOWN through the loop

Pull the standing End down through the loop and the hitching is complete. The ends may be glued or held in place with a contrasting color Turks Head knot

OR
Turks Head tied with two ends
Make a clockwise loop with left end in front of ring and a counter-clockwise loop with the right end through the loop

Bring each end over the strand and through the corresponding loops on top

Bring each end down across one strand and through the loop on the bottom

The Turks Head tied with two ends is complete. You can tighten it up and hide the ends or double it by bring each end parallel to the strand just below it

As I mentioned the finishing knot can be doubled (or even tripled) by following parallel to the indicated strand. Cut the ends close to the knot and push them under the knot to hide them.

Those would also make good zipper pulls so you can zip up when you have mittens on.
