The hog tie allows you to tie the wrists and the ankles together, restricting the whole body and fulfilling all your rope play desires— Athena Gayle
You’ll begin by having your partner lay flat on their belly. Carefully place your partner's arms behind their back. Tie a single column or somerville bowline around the wrists, rotating the knot to point towards the feet.
Pull the rest of the rope towards the ankles and create a Hojo cuff by wrapping the rope around twice. You’ll end up with the line running from the single column, the middle, and the tail. Wrap the ends over the line coming from the single column and under all the wraps around the ankles.
Then pass the rope ends through the bight and back to the hojo cuff; this is called reverse tension. Then you can pass the rope back and forth under the wraps until you run low on rope.
To finish, tie a half hitch by crossing the rope over all the wraps to create a little loop. Pull the rope ends through the loop and pull the knot tight to lock it down.
The hojo cuff is used together with a single column tie to bring two limbs together, so it can be two legs, an arm and a thigh, or a wrist to a bedpost.
Begin by doing either a Single Column Tie or the Sommervile Bowline on an ankle.
Pull the rope to the other ankle and wrap the rope around the other ankle twice. You’ll end up with the line running from the single column, the middle, and the tail. (Note that the bight is now stuck to the first knot, so you don’t have a bight for this second tie, which is why it’s called a hojo cuff.)
Now, wrap the tail over all those bands, making sure you cross over the line coming from the single column, and then just fold under the wraps.
To finish, you’ll do something called a half hitch, where you’ll cross the rope over the running line, and go through the loop coming from the hojo cuff. Pull through, against the other knot to tighten it.
To use up the excess rope, you can first pass the rope ends through the bight and back to the hojo cuff; this is called reverse tension.
Then you can pass the rope back and forth under the wraps to create a thick band between the ties. When you run low on rope, do a half hitch and pull the knot against the wraps around the ankle to lock it down.
