How Do You Tie A Sheets Bend Or Sheets Shank?
A sheet’s bend or sheet’s shank is one of the surest ways to connect 2 lines of different diameter. For the surest knot, make the loop out of the thicker line. Make a loop in the thicker of the 2 lines. Hold that loop in your left hand. Pass the working end of the second line through the loop. Pass the working end of the second line over the short part of the loop, then up, behind the loop. Bring the working end of the second line over the long part of the loop and under itself. Pull on the loop and the standing end of the second rope to tighten the sheet bend.
