It used to be widely used to join large hawsers.}} The Carrick Bend is also known as the Double Carrick Bend. The Carrick bend is a knot used for joining two lines. It is particularly appropriate for very heavy rope or cable that is too large and stiff to easily be formed into other common bends. It will not jam even after carrying a significant load or being soaked with water. The Carrick bend's aesthetically pleasing interwoven and symmetrical shape has also made it popular for decorative purposes. The Double Carrick Bend is one of the [[Forty knots]]. ;Lesson Videos * [http://www.animatedknots.com/carrick/index.php Grog's Animated Knots: Carrick Bend] - [http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-tie-carrick-bend-knots-with-animated-knot-tying-help-265856/ Wonder How To Video: Carrick Bend Knots] - [http://www.expertvillage.com/video/85716_rope-bends-carrick.htm Video: Carrick Bend] {{clear}}{{Top}} <br> ==Chain Sinnet== [[Image:Chain Sinnet.jpg|frame|right]]{{Shortcut|[[Chain Sinnet]]}} {{ABOK|# 2868, p. 472}} {{Grog|The Chain Sinnet is tied by many of us as children. It turns a piece of string into a pleasing chain. And, when pulled, all of the knots vanish as if by magic. It is found on dress uniforms; it can be used to shorten, and add bulk to, the end of a light pull; and it is also used by climbers as a means of preventing a rope getting tangled, e.g., when being washed.}} ;Instructions ;Lesson Videos * [http://www.animatedknots.com/chainsinnet/index.php Grog's Animated Knots: Chain Sinnet] - [http://www.wonderhowto.com/community/member/nbc/playlists/knots/ Wonder How To Video: Chain Knot Knots Playlist] - [http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-tie-chain-shortenings-with-animated-knot-tying-help-266041/ Wonder How To Video: Chain Shortenings] - [http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-tie-the-chain-sinnet-chain-stitch-or-monkey-braid-265521/ Wonder How To Video: Chain Sinnet, Chain Stitch, Or Monkey Braid] - [http://www.marinews.com/Chain-Sennit-742.php Chain Sennit ANimated] {{clear}}{{Top}} <br> ==Cow Hitch== [[Image:Cow_Hitch.gif|frame|left|Animation of how to tie a Cow Hitch]]{{Shortcut|[[Cow Hitch]]}} [[Image:Girth_Hitch.gif|frame|right|Another way to tie a Cow Hitch]] {{(ABOK|# 1694, p. 294)}} {{Grog|The Girth Hitch is much more familiar than many of us recognize: it is the same knot we use to link a pair of elastic bands. It is known by many names including: strap hitch, cow hitch, lark's head (and lark's foot), and lanyard hitch.}} The Cow Hitch is also known as the Strap Hitch, Cow Hitch, Lanyard Hitch, Lark's Head, or Girth Hitch. The Cow Hitch is one of the least secure of the hitches. The Cow Hitch hitches a rope to a metal ring, pole, or another rope. It is also used in [[Horsemanship]] for typing a leather strap to a ring or hitching post. In [[Small-Boat Sailing]], the Cow Hitch is used to secure a lanyard to a shroud or jib sheet to a clew, etc. ;Instructions The Cow Hitch is like [[Knot#Two_half-hitches|Two half-hitches]] with the second hitch reversed. Pass the end of the rope around a ring, post, pole, tree, etc. Bring the end over and under the body of the rope (known as the standing part),then back through the loop thus formed. That makes a half hitch. Take the end around the standing part a second time and tie another half hitch but with the two half hitches facing each other. Pull it snug. The Cow Hitch (Lark's Head) is one of the [[Forty knots]]. ;Lesson Videos * [http://www.animatedknots.com/girthrescue/index.php Grog's Animated Knots: Girth Hitch] - [http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-tie-the-girth-hitch-knot-with-a-knot-tying-animation-265456/ Wonder How To Video: Girth Hitch Knot] - [http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-tie-a-girth-hitch-lark-s-foot-knot-for-rock-climbing-251443/ Wonder How To Video: Girth Hitch/Larks Foot] - [http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-tie-a-lanyard-knot-198268/ Wonder How To Video: Lanyard Knot] - [http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-tie-lanyard-loop-knots-with-animated-knot-tying-help-266047/ Wonder How To Video: Lanyard Loop Knots] - [http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-tie-lark-s-head-knots-with-animated-knot-tying-help-265971/ Wonder How To Video: Larks Head Knots] - [http://www.animatedknots.com/girth/index.php Grog's Animated Knots: Girth Hitch] - [http://www.expertvillage.com/video/123496_tying-larkshead-knots.htm Video: Larkshead] - [http://www.expertvillage.com/video/89727_knot-hitches-pedigree.htm Video: Cow Hitch] {{clear}}{{Top}} <br> ==Double Sheet Bend== [[Image:Double_Sheet_bend.gif|frame|right|Animation of how to tie a Double Sheet Bend]]{{Shortcut|[[Double Sheet Bend]]}} :''Also see: [[Sheet Bend]]. The Double Sheet bend is like a [[Knot#Sheet Bend|Sheet Bend]] with an extra wrap. The double sheet bend is stronger than a [[Knot#Square Knot|Square Knot]] or even a [[Knot#Sheet Bend|Sheet Bend]]. It is a good choice for tying two ropes together in wet conditions or with a moving load. ;Instructions Make a loop in one end. The rabbit goes out of the hole, around the tree and back under his path and then back under his path once more.
