==Tying steps== The heaving line bend is tied the same way as the sheet bend with one difference: the final crossing of the thin end is done in the opposite direction, so the thin end points away from the thin line, essentially in the same direction as the thick end, towards the thick line. This avoids jamming when the thin line is pulled to carry the thick end out of reach. #Make a [[Bight (knot)|bight]] in the larger line. #Pass the lighter line around the standing part of the bight. #Cross between the larger and the lighter line on the back side. #Finish by tucking the end between its turn around the standing part of the bight and that leg; pull tight.
