You will need 2 ropes. I use a pink and a blue rope, easier to identify
Align them next to each other
Step 2: Make First Knot

Make a loop on pink rope
Pass the blue rope through the loop
Loop the pink rope over blue rope, then pass pink rope through the two loops
Step 3: Tighten First Knot

Pull the pink rope through loops to tighten it
You should have an X pattern
Step 4: Make Second Knot

Do the same as before but this time with blue rope
Wrap it two times over the pink robe, then pass blue rope through then 2 loops
Step 5: Tighten Two Knots

Pull the 2 ropes apart, and the 2 knots will meet in the middle..There will be 2 knots with X patterns
Congrat! You now joint 2 ropes together. :)
