     Now, this part is real, real important to making a good quality sheet bend. After you bring the end of the rope back into the loop as shown in step above, bring the rope under itself on the other side of the loop, then over the other rope. See it in the photo? Very important. If I fail this part, I just wind up with a lousy square knot :-)
