Double sheet bend
When lines are of unequal diameter or rigidity it is necessary for security to "double" the sheet bend by making an additional round turn below the first before bringing the working end back under itself. The free ends should end up on the same side of the knot for maximum strength. The double sheet bend can joins two ropes more securely than sheet bend. It should looks like these if it is correct.
