Variation: Some people make an extra wrap before thread-
ing the working end under the “x.” in each fisherman’s
knot. This will result in a knot commonly referred to as the
“triple fisherman’s knot.”

Possible Uses:
1. Tying two or more lengths of rope together to make one
longer length of rope. This may come in really handy if
you ever have to scavenge for cordage.

2. Anytime you want to tie both ends of a rope together
to form a loop, you can use a double fisherman’s knot.

Sheet Bend
Many people use this knot when they have two ropes of
different diameters that they need to join together. Joining
two ropes of varying diameters is this knot’s claim to fame
but you can also use it to connect ropes of the same diam-
eter. By the way, it’s also known as the “weaver’s knot” in
some circles.

Pros: Tying a knot using differing diameters of rope can
sometimes make the knot unstable and prone to slipping,
but this knot is specifically designed for this purpose.
Cons: It may have a tendency to work its way loose if ten-
sion isn’t kept on the two ropes.
