Tying: First, learn to tie the sheet bend. To make the double sheet bend, start by making a bight in the smaller line. Pass the working end of the larger line up through the bight, around behind the bight, and through the loop in the larger line (that's a sheet bend). Then once again, pass the working end along the same path, around behind the bight and through the loop in the larger line.

Double sheet bend
Double sheet bend.jpg

Use: The double sheet bend or double becket bend is a strong knot used to tie two ropes (usually of different thicknesses or rigidity) together. It is a doubled version of the sheet bend.

How to tie:

To tie the double sheet bend, start by making a bight in the larger line. Pass the working end of the smaller line up through the bight, around behind the bight, and beneath the loop in the smaller line (that's a sheet bend). Then once again, pass the working end along the same path, around behind the bight and beneath the loop in the smaller line.

WARNING: As with the standard sheet bend, the two free ends should end up on the same side of the knot. If they do not, a left-handed double sheet bend results, which is much weaker.
