Double Column

The double column tie is the perfect choice for tying up your partner’s lower body. This will give a restrictive sensation similar to handcuffs, and the extra wraps give it just the right amount of support.

Begin by holding rope from the bight and wrap twice around the ankles, and make sure to do this above the ankle bone. Once again, You’ll end up with 3 wraps - but leave bight longer than you did with the single column.

This time, when you pull the bight over the wraps, go over the ropes below as well. This way you’re creating a lock with the rope between the ankles.

Tie a simple overhand knot, with the bight wrapping over the tail, and pull horizontally to tighten. Next do a square knot by passing the bight under the tail, then over the tail, and through the little loop that you created.

Once again, tighten horizontally the secure the tie.
