Long Knot - bondage tips

This knot takes the base of the Box Knot and runs “long” with it. Essentially this knot is a weaving technique that could extend to any length desired. However, for the purpose of creating our Butterfly Harness, it is best tied as illustrated below. Still, there’s no need to limit the use of this knot to harnesses. You can use it for a variety of other pieces too, including bracelets and collars.

Rope length: Any length

Rope diameter: Any diameter

Start by making a downward loop. Make sure the right-hand rope lies on top of the loop you created.

Fold the right rope down, behind and across the back of the loop.

Form a bight in the left-hand rope and weave it over the left side of the loop, under (behind) the middle rope and over the right side of the loop.

Now pull the loose side of the bight until the end of the rope pulls all the way through the knot.

Widen the loop until it hangs down about 3 inches (8cm) long.

Twist the loop so that the right side crosses down over the left.

Fold the right rope down, behind and across the back of the loop.

Then, weave the left-hand rope over the left side of the loop, under the middle rope and over the right side of the loop.
