Step 2Double Sheet Bend
The double sheet bend is used to tie two lines of different thickness - but not too different. It is the same as a normal sheet bend, but with an extra turn of the thinner rope around the flat loop in the thicker.
The load goes on the line through the flat loop, not the one that comes out the side of the knot.
Uses:
Securing a heaving line to a tow line
Extending a stern line if you don't have enough line of one thickness
