When I start spinning the yarn I hold it close to the thing, as it spins I slide the yarn thru my fingers there by contoling the twisting just a bit.
To remove it from the thing (we really should name it) I bring the yarn over like you said then hold it with one hand , hold the thing in my lap and cut the yarn. next tie the knot. To put it on the child (or even adults want them) you don't have to tie it on, part the folded end on the yarn just a bit so you can place your knoted end thru it. It sort of makes its own latch.
