Double sheet bend

This is a considerably more secure version of the

sheet bend, though it doesn’t take much longer to
tie. The double sheet bend is best used where there

is a constant load, and not too much snatching.

1 Put a bight in the end of one line. Pass the end of the other line through

the bight and around the legs.

2 Tuck working the end under itself, and pass it around the legs again.
