Sheetbend

Sheetbend
Use: The sheet bend knot is excellent for joining two ropes together, especially if the two ropes are not the same size. When tied properly, it will not come undone, and it is easy to untie. It is very similar to the bowline. How to tie: 1. Make a bight at the end of the larger rope (if they are not the same size). 2. Run the end of the smaller rope through the bight, entering from the bottom. 3. Wrap the end of small rope around the back of the large rope, crossing the short end of the large rope first. 4. Tuck the end of the short rope under itself, on top of the bight.
