Sheet Bend: A Useful Knot for Connecting Ropes

Don't forget to give me a thumbs up and if you'd like to see more knot tying tutorials, subscribe to my channel. 

Welcome to my channel How to Knot and in this video, I will be showing you how to tie a sheet bend. This particular knot is used for connecting two ropes and can be used in applications such as sailing, camping, or even just general purposes. This knot can be used to join two ropes of different diameters unlike other types of knots, but it’s not secure as other knots. Therefore it should not be used in high stress situations. If ropes of unequal sizes are used, the larger diameter rope is to be used for the bight. 

Start by creating a bight in the one rope. 

Take the working end of the opposite rope and feed that through the bight. 

Loop under and then back.

Feed the working end under the section through the bight.

Tighten and dress accordingly.
