It is my favorite to tie. Notice the design between the breasts. It is called a "Hon Kikkou".

Two Knotty Boys are rope bondage riggers and instructors known worldwide for their commonsense-yet-whimsical style, as well as for clear, concise, well-narrated book and video instruction.
While their books are available for sale, they have made their videos available free to the public for many years through whatever servers would carry them, most recently YouTube. In September 2008, YouTube suspended the TKB account, citing "flagging" by other users for content, even though these instructional videos show absolutely no nudity or violence of any kind. Most don't even include a model at all - they're all about the rope. The Two Knotty Boys have requested that anyone willing to make their videos available free of charge to everyone who can benefit from them - by filesharing, bittorrent, even by burning dvds - should please do so, to preserve and protect their labor of love. Please enjoy their work, share it with others, and play safe: Crash Restraint. When attaching support lines to a harness for suspension, I use a novel method that people frequently ask me about, and I've been meaning to document for a long time.
Serendipitously, I ran into Kali from Kink Academy a few months ago at Wicked Grounds, and she asked me to film some instructional videos for them on suspension -- so I managed to slip this in there, and they've graciously agreed to allow me to use screenshots from those videos to illustrate a blog post here. This method was inspired by the Tatu hitch , during a Fetlife discussion whose details are now murky in my memory -- in any case credit is due both Tatu and Jack Elfrink for making me aware of that knot, upon which this is based. Things needing names, and this technique using the first half of a Tatu hitch, I suppose we could call it the half-Tatu hitch.
Thanks also to Mecha-Kate for modeling for these. The full video version, in two parts, is here and here on Kink Academy. Single Point Attachment, with Carabiner.
