Farmer’s Halter Loop
Bondage that uses flat rope can open up the opportunity for a whole new style of play. But you still need to know how to tie some kind of cuff. This knot works wonderfully in flat rope and is ment for use when the direction of pull is inline with the limb.
How much rope you need for this cuff depends on the number of wrappings. However, since flat rope already has a wide surface area, you don’t exactly need a bunch of wraps.
Make an overhand knot. Two important things. First, the line must enter the knot up from the bottom and exit out the top. Second, the entry and exit points need to be toward the tip of the limb with the large curve of the overhand knot toward the base. Flip or rotate the knot until it is positioned correctly.
Bring the line around the limb. This end will now be passed through the overhand knot.
Match up where the line is already entering the knot. Bring the working end into the knot under this spot.
As the working end exits the knot, it will match up with where the line is already exiting the knot. This will be over that spot.
As the knot tightens up, you will note that the two times the rope exits up through the top of the knot are now exactly parallel and flush with each other.
Since this is the same basic setup from where you started wrapping the line around the limb, you can wrap as many times as you want. Each time making the line parallel and flush with the last time
Pull the working end toward the tip of the limb. This can now be anchored off, for example to be spread eagle to the bedposts. Note that the cintiching turn is very clean and at right angles to the wraps around the limb.
