hets are just heterozygous for some trait/traits (i.e. a normal leo het for albinism). Double hets are heterozygous for exactly 2 traits (i.e. normal leo double het for patternless and albinism). All double hets are hets, but not all hets are double hets. You can also have triple hets, quadruple hets, etc... Basically if you go beyond just saying het, you are indicating how many traits (genes) are het for the recessive gene.
