Which knot is used for joining two ropes with same sizes?

Sheet Bend
Uses: The Sheet Bend (ABOK # 1431, p 262) or Weaver’s Knot (ABOK # 485, p 78) is recommended for joining two ropes of unequal size. The thicker rope must be used for the simple bight as shown. However, it works equally well if the ropes are of the same size.

How to tie two fishing lines together?

Put two fishing lines side by side with the ends overlapping by six inches.

  • Make a loop using the end of one of the fishing lines.
  • Hold the end of the line using your fingertips as you circle it back then go up and over the lines that overlap.
  • Place the end of the loop opposite the parallel lines right in the middle where the two fishing lines overlap.
  • Hold the end of the loop and pass it six times,wrapping it around to where the paralleled lines overlap.
  • Pull the wire through the middle of the circle,leaving it loose as you do so.
  • Pull the tag end,which is the one used to make the uni knot and grab it firmly to tighten the knot.
  • Repeat the procedure on the other end of the line to create the same knot on the other side.
  • Pull each end of the lines separately,going in separate directions to bring those two knots together.
  • Ensure that you have tightened the knot before cutting the excess line.

    • How to tie two strings together?

    – Lay the ends of the string so that the ends lie parallel to each other. They should run parallel for about four inches (10 cm). – Pull the end of the right chord (end A) so that it doubles back four inches (10 cm). It should make a long C shape. – Wrap end A around all of the stacked up lengths of switch-backing chord. Wrap the end from front to back several times. Feed end A through the loop. – Slide the wrapped loops down so that the knot is tightened. End B (the left end) should be able to move freely when pulled.

    What is a knot diagram?
