Cow hitches use up rope at different rate for the inside track and outside track. So when you switch rows, this is a great time to switch which strand is inside or outside. This way your tails will be close to the same length at the end. So I am going to grab my strands, then…

…flip my hand so the outside, becomes the inside.

It looks very natural to make this switch at this point.

Now continue in the direction you were going, but make the next drape longer…

…so you can attach to the bottom of the prior layer.

Then continue the pattern from there, matching the drape of the prior Cow Hitch.

Like this.

Here I am adjusting how much rope I use so that my drape remains at the same level while accounting for my partner’s anatomy.

…

… doing this allows me to emphasize -- or de-emphasize -- aspects of my partner.

Continue as long as you want…
