How to Tie a Double Harness Bend

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.
