One of the easiest and quick to tie the sheet bend is the most common method for joining two ropes together. Here's how to tie it. As always click on the pictures to make them larger and easier to see.
1. Start by forming a loop in the end of one of the ropes then pass the end of the other rope through the loop.
2. pass the working end of the second rope (yellow in the photo) around the short end of the loop and then behind the first rope (the purple one)
3. Pass the to the front of the knot and then back under itself.
4. To finish the knot work everything up tight as shown which will lock everything together.
5. For extra security on rope of differing diameters or ropes that are slippery pass the working end around the back of the knot a second time as shown.
