THE EVER YTHING KNOTS BOOK

Double Sheet Bend
Another version of the Sheet Bend is the Double Sheet Bend, which you
may prefer for use with two ropes that come in different sizes, or if you
require a more secure bend.

1 Start by making a Sheet Bend. Pass the running end around the knot
again to tuck under its standing part a second time, making two wraps.

2 Tighten the Double Sheet Bend.

The Double Sheet Bend can be used to tie a rope to a clothlike
material or the top of a sack, if the flat material is used as the end that
is folded over.
