STEP 2 Tighten the Double Sheet Bend.












                  The  Double  Sheet  Bend  can  be  used  to  tie  a  rope  to  a  clothlike

               folded over.





               HUNTER’S BEND


               Although  most  knots  don’t  result  in  publicity,  this  knot  did  when  Dr.
               Richard Hunter brought it to public attention, leading to the formation
               of the International Guild of Knot Tyers in 1982. Today, this knot is also

               called the Rigger’s Bend.


               STEP 1 Start by placing the two ropes together, with the running ends
               facing opposite directions.




















               STEP 2 Use both ropes to make a crossing turn.
