Double Sheet Bend
A slight modification to the sheet bend will result in a “dou-
ble sheet bend” which is supposed to be more secure.

How to tie it:
1. Make a bight with the working end of the thicker diam-
eter rope and hold it in your left hand as illustrated in
figure 23a.

2. Keep the “u” in the bight facing towards the right and the
working end at the top of the bight.
3. Holding the thinner rope in your right hand, thread it up
from the bottom of the “u” in the bight as illustrated in
figure 23b.

4. Pass the working end of the thinner rope behind and
around the bight. It’s important to start this wrap towards
the top of the knot, or in other words, towards the direc-
tion the working end of the bight is facing. This is illus-
trated in figure 23c.
5. Thread the working end of the thinner rope under itself
as illustrated in figure 23d.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to make a second wrap.

7. Dress and tighten the knot to complete the double sheet
bend. The finished knot should look like the one illus-
trated in figure 24.
