Sheet Bend

Uses: Joining two rope of equal or different diameters.







Instructions: 1) Take the larger rope in one hand. Make a loop in this rope about three inches long and hold both ends of the loop in one hand. 2) Take the smaller rope and thread it up the loop. 3) Wrap the smaller rope around the loop of the larger one. 4) Tuck it underneath the where the smaller rope comes up through the larger rope's loop. 5) Pull the free end of the smaller rope tight to secure the bend.

Notes: The sheet bend is very fast to tie and is also useful when joining two ropes of different diameters.
