Bad knots

I'm new to fly fishing, and thought I was following directions when tying my fly on to the tippet w/ a clinch knot. But I am obviousy doing something wrong, as I am losing flies simply from casting (no snags, etc.).
I am threading the tippet through, creating the first loop, wrapping 4-6 times, going through the first loop, then the second, and finally tightening it up.
Any ideas on what could be going wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Ed
