What about if I need a knot that allows me to take a rope around a pole? Like a hitch.

Also a bowline haha. Wrap the rope around the pole and then tie a bowline as you usually would: make a bight on the trailing end and thread the leading end through. Bonus points for using a bowline with a yosemite finish to stop it from coming undone.

I didn’t communicate myself so well. I’m imagining a situation where the knot needs to be under pressure to bind the two pieces together. I’m not experienced with bowlines but it doesn’t allow me to do tighten by cinching (does that make sense?)

That's not a hitch, it's a lashing, if I understand you correctly.
