The double sheet 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.
To tie 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.
