!!!Safety Stuff!!!

-Rope/shibari is edge play, and nerve damage happens fast. Always tie with rounded scissors/medical shears in reach (I'll usually have mine just out of frame)

-This tie has ropes close to the back of the knee, where there's a lot of important nerves and blood vessels. Be sure not to tie too tight there and if you feel any numbness or tingling readjust until it goes away. If it persists for longer than a couple minutes, untie immediately!

-The magic wand probably wasn't designed to be so enclosed, so maybe take breaks more often to avoid overheating, and try to not struggle too much (don't want to break it)

Now for the fun stuff!

Materials: Medical shears, 30 ft of rope (any material, I used cotton), magic wand

Step 1: Start with your 30 ft rope folded in half. Wrap around one leg and the wand, then reach through the bight (the folded bit) and pull the tails through. You want the bight fairly close to where your leg meets the wand, and tightness-wise you always want to be able to get 2-3 fingers between your rope and you.

Step 2: Reverse tension and make another wrap below your first one. Reach through the secondary bight you just made and pull the tails through...

Step 3: ...Like so. Keep two fingers where you just pulled through, and bring the tails between your leg and the wand.

Step 4: Bring the tails back between your legs and the wand, underneath the back wraps this time, and grab the tails with the two fingers you kept in place before. Pull the tails through, then hold the knot while you pull the tails more to cinch the wraps together, locking the wand in place. This much of the tie is a larks head double column, and the Duchy has a great tutorial on it here.

Step 5: Start another wrap going left higher up the leg. Wrap around both legs and the wand, and have the tails go underneath the first bit of the wrap.

Step 6: Reverse tension, and make another wrap below the first. Reach through the secondary bight and pull the tails through, similar to Steps 2 and 3.

Step 7: We're going to do another cinch like we did in Step 4, so keep two fingers where you just pulled through. Bring the tails between your leg and the wand, capture the back wraps, then back to the front. Grab the tails with the two fingers from before and pull through, then hold the knot and pull the tails to cinch together.

Step 8: We're going to do another cinch on the other side, so repeat Step 7 but between the wand and your other leg. 2 fingers, up and over, back underneath, 2 fingers, pull through and cinch. Then all that's left is to use up any leftover rope (I did that by adding an ankle cuff but you can do whatever you want) and you're done!! Have fun ;3

(Note: I made the ankle cuff by running up and over the wraps, but I realized while writing this that it would've been more aesthetically pleasing to go underneath instead, so oops :/ )

I cannot recommend the Duchy enough, its where I learned most of my stuff and they have a ton of free materials.

If you enjoyed this or learned something, why not leave a nice comment and make a trans girl's day? :3
