The
sheet bend is a very good knot for tying together two ropes
of the same or different diameters. It is a close relative of the
bowline, and is untied in the same way. Put
a bend in the end of the thicker rope and hold it with one hand.
Pass the end of the other rope through the bend, then take that
end around behind the bend. Bring the end across the front of the
bend and tuck it under its own standing part. Tighten the knot by
pulling the standing part of the smaller line. |
