The Hybrid Method video is on Youtube now. Search Alpine Butterfly Knot and you will find it. There is no spoken instruction, but I wanted to get something up.

Here’s the direct link to a more recent video (edit Jan.28/18).

while fiddling around with this knot i worked out how to tie it with the end of the rope so you can tie the loop into e.g. a harness and also using this method, make it into a friction hitch for my work which is tree surgery.
alpineer,
Thank you for this method of tying the Alpine butterfly, it is easy,elegant and intuitive. Most of all I find it the easiest method to adjust the length of loop to suit.
That’s the method I use. I find this method naturally dresses the Butterfly how I like it. Also, this method makes the knot size easily adjustable. Also, 2 loops and 3 loops are fun and easy. Just add turns around the hand during the initial part.
Old thread, but maybe something new?
Alpineer, after searching the forum, I couldn’t find that you had posted your video for your even more recent method of tying a butterfly, your “thumb hook” method, even faster than your “hybrid method”. In my opinion this thumb hook method deserves a Nobel prize. Once you play with it, it flows much easier that the video would suggests, somewhat similarly to the twist-coil method of tying a constrictor that Derek introduced me to some years ago.
To get the hang of it, aside from the form shown on the video, I recommend trying with just the index finger (instead of the palm) and the thumb. This will also show how easily you can control the size of the loop.
Within a few minutes, I could tie it in seconds, without looking at the rope.
Magical!
Here’s your video.

This video really caps the year for me as far as knots are concerned, I’m ready for 2013.
THUMBS UP
Apologies if this has already been discussed and somehow eluded my search efforts.
Btw the hook action somehow reminds me of the “Sofia method” of tying a constrictor, which I was really proud of for the five minutes until Derek introduced me to the coil-twist. But that’s the only similarity, I never use the Sofia method, while your thumb hook method is brilliant, I’ll be using it all the time.
Hi All,
Topic: Adjustable guy line. post by Olegan67. link ; https://igkt.net/sm/index.php?topic=6610.0
I found Mr. Creozin have a video, how to tie Alpine Butterfly Knot. exactly same tying method as The Hybride Tying Method by Alpineer.
One was in the year 2012 the other was year 2015.

謝謝 alanleeknots
Yes but Alan, no method is as efficient as yours where you hang the line from your hand, flick your wrist, and presto, the Alpine Butterfly is formed. 
Here’s another variation.
I found this when checking youtube to see if my variation on the “double twist” was new.
I like this method because it’s easy to tie the knot without looking.
I also use this to tie the butterfly bend, though it took a while to figure out how to make it work well for the bend.
Note - the interesting part of the video is from 3:05 to 3:35.
FWIW I don’t finish it exactly the same way - I pull the loop away from my body rather than across.

Another similar approach. I won’t be switching though - it doesn’t look like I’d like to tie the bend that way.
