Hose around his thumb

He placed the hose around his thumb?



Is this correct? How do you rephrase it without inverting the subject and object? I don't want to say he placed his thumb inside the hose. Can you use around or over?

Is that physically possible? THis is more plausible. He wound a string around his thumb.

He slipped one end of the hose over his thumb. "Around" does not work because it means the outside of the hose.
