SHEET BEND
Second method

This method is used in
weaving, and when the
sheet bend is tied this
way it may be known as
the weaver's knot. It is

with the heavier rope
over the lighter; then

with the left hand and
grasp the standing part
of the lighter rope with
the right hand (1 ).
Form a loop with the
standing part by
twisting it clockwise
with the right hand; the
standing part should be
behind its own end (2).
Continue the turn to
360'; then leave the
standing part running
free (3). Take the end of
the heavier rope in the
right hand and form a
bight to put into the eye
formed by the lighter
rope (4). Pull the ends
of the two ropes and
the knot begins to take
shape (5). The end of
the smaller rope is
turned down by a twist
of the standing part,
and the knot is pulled
tight (6). As can be
seen in the sequence of
