- The Sheetbend is commonly used to tie two ropes of unequal thickness
together. The thicker rope of the two is used to form a bight, and the
thinner rope is passed up through the bight, around the back of the
bight, and then tucked under itself.
- The knot should be tied with both ends coming off the same side of
the bend, as illustrated here. However it can easily be accidentally
tied with the ends coming off opposite sides of the bend, when it is
known as the Left
Handed Sheet Bend. The Left Handed Sheet Bend is to be avoided as it
is less secure.
