The main bow hold for Cello is with your middle two fingers and thumb, which are together, and should be curved to form a circle form. Your index and pinkie fingers rest on either side of your middle two fingers and thumb. Pinkie should sit just above the eye of the frog.

Cello bow holds are very similar to Violin & Viola holds, if you looked at the CSCL lessons for those bow holds as well, except the fingers are a little lower, and pinky can be lowered as well, it doesn't have sit on top of the bow.
