Rope Cage

             The Rope Cage is yet another elegant tie that utilizes the
             Double Coin Knot in its construction. When completed, the tie

             feet like a “willow in the wind.” Since it consumes a lot of
             rope, this tie can be a bit cumbersome for beginners.
