LEFT-HAND
SHEET BEND

Somewhat less secure
than the sheet bend.
this is still a usefui knot.
It is often used by
weavers and lace
makers. It may be
begun in the same way
as a reef knot.

Method
Make a turn with the
heavier rope around the
lighter rope and cross
the ends above; the end
of the heavier rope
should lie over the end
of the lighter rope (1).
Turn the end of the
lighter rope down and
pass it under its own
standing part (2). Pull
the standing parts to
tighten the knot (3).
