But Jane - a clove hitch bears absolutely no resemblance to a sheet bend!
A clove hitch is simply 2 loops placed one on top of the other (in opposite directions) and then slid over the top of a stick, pole or post. It has an entirely different function.

I think that's why I had so much trouble with it as a Brownie... didn't help that what we were told was a sheet bend was in fact a clove hitch, as I learned years later! Now, I use the weavers' knot method and have no problem with it at all!
