46. Double Sheet Bend
Also known as: Doubled Basket Hitch or Weaver’s Knot
Less prone to slippage and more secure than the standard Sheet Bend
(opposite), the doubled version is especially useful where one rope is
significantly heavier than the other or so stiff that it cannot be bent into a
small radius for other types of bends.
Uses: joining lines of dissimilar diameters; connecting a heaving or messenger line to a dock line or
safety rope
Pros: less prone to slippage than a Sheet Bend, easy to tie and untie
Cons: May be insecure if not kept under load; may catch on obstructions if it will be dragged
