Mexican Handcuff

Remember that this can also be done with a doubled rope folded into a bight. 2. Pass the rope around your other hand. The direction you coil doesn’t really matter but the final knot comes out more evenly if you coil in the direction shown. 3. Coil a few times around your hand. More coils make the final knot more secure. Fewer coils makes the knot easier to set into place. The number of coils is up to you. Ideally you should pass the middle of the rope when you are halfway done making coils. 4. Pinch the working end between your index and ring fingers of the hand you wrapped around. 5. Let go of the working end and slip your index and ring fingers under all of the coils. 6. Pinch the very last coil with your index and ring fingers. 7. Pull your hands apart. 8. Your hands will exit the knot with a loop trailing pinched between each index and middle finger. From here, use exactly as you would use a regular texas handcuff. 1
