Rope Cage
The Rope Cage is yet another elegant tie that utilizes the
Double Coin Knot in its construction. When completed, the tie
comfortably limits a partner’s ability to move, while at the
same time allowing him or her to be pivoted freely on the
feet like a “willow in the wind.” Since it consumes a lot of
rope, this tie can be a bit cumbersome for beginners.
However, with a little practice, tying it will soon be a breeze!
