The triangle of advanced knot skill applies here: 1) bight-on-bight tying 2) initial hold position is critical 3) use the hand as a template. The quick tie method for the Spanish bowline utilizes mostly #1 and #2 here. The hand template is used in the opening move. This serves to introduce the Van Gorder's pretzel, which is a loop folded on a bight. Van Gorder has developed more than 26 knots from this pretzel starting point.
