Now a double harness bend is a bend that's more preferred by knot tiers. The reason being,
is that its a parallel bend. Now, a parallel knot is much preferred for two reasons. One
is because it is a better looking knot. And two, because its easier to learn, because
you are doing the same thing in an exact mirror copy. So if you look down here to my table,
I have two ropes right here, and they are both coming in at each other at opposite ends.
So what I'm going to do is pull a little more length here on my blue rope. I'm going to
pull it under, around, wrap and create a loop here that comes back over the working end
of my red rope. Now, lets pull my working end of my blue out a little bit. And I'm going
to take this one, and I'm going to do the same thing over here. I'm going to run it
over, and under. Just like this, on the same side. Oops. Lets do this the other way, the
proper way. Lets run it over, through here and then bend down like this. Now, as you
can see when I pull these two loops together, they're going to come down on the same end.
And its going to form a nice double harness, as you can see.
