The '''sheet bend''' (also known as '''weaver's knot''' and '''weaver's hitch''') is a [[bend knot]]. It is practical for joining lines of different diameter or rigidity.
`
Becket Hitch: The Becket Hitch is a very similar knot. However, it is a “Hitch”: it does not join two ropes, it attaches a rope to a Becket (a rope handle or an eye). In the animation the Blue Rope would be Becket and the Red Rope would be tied to it with a Becket Hitch.
 
It is quick and easy to tie, and is considered so essential it is the first knot given in the ''[[Ashley Book of Knots]]''.<ref name=":0">{{cite book|title=The Ashley Book of Knots|last=Ashley|first=Clifford W.|publisher=Doubleday|year=1944 |url=https://www.liendoanaulac.org/space/references/training/Ashley_Book_Knots.pdf |pages=9,18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181219231529/https://www.liendoanaulac.org/space/references/training/Ashley_Book_Knots.pdf |archive-date=19 December 2018 }}</ref> Additionally, it is one of the six knots given in the [[International Guild of Knot Tyers]]' Six Knot Challenge, along with the [[clove hitch]], [[bowline]], [[Reef knot|reef knot (square knot)]], [[round turn and two half-hitches]], and [[sheepshank]].
