Weaver at Queen Street Mill demonstrating a weaver's knot Steps in tying a weaver's knot. The sheet bend may be tied by various methods: the basic "rabbit through the hole" method of forming a half hitch in the bight of the larger rope, by a more expedient method shown in Ashley as ABoK #1431 (similar to the method used by an experienced sailor or mountaineer to tie a bowline) or by a trick ...
The Weaver's knot is a different way to tie this map and perhaps it should either be listed here or linked. - Texnofobix 02:51, 18 February 2006 (UTC) The Ashley Book of Knots is rather unclear on this definition.

The three knots form a developmental sequence that were inspired by aspects of the Sheet bend. [3]
The reef knot can capsize if one of its standing ends is pulled.. A knot that has capsized or spilled has deformed into a different structure. Although capsizing is sometimes the result of incorrect tying or misuse, it can also be done purposefully in certain cases to strengthen the knot (see the carrick bend [4]) or to untie a seized knot which would otherwise be difficult to release (see ...

The Lapp knot is a type of bend. It has the same structure as the sheet bend, but the opposite ends are loaded. The slipped Lapp bend is also an exploding knot, which means that when pulling the quick release end it falls completely apart without further entanglement. It is as strong as or even stronger than the sheet bend, [1] though much less ...
