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.
