| 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.
|tying_instructions =
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.
|warnings=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.
