I suspect it's an overhand knot, not a pretzel. Boy Scouts use a square knot. I guess British military just aren't up to that level yet.

I'll be worried when I see someone with a bowline insignia.

Yes, and American Boy Scouts love to wear those knot decorations and there are so many to choose from. Prior to WWII, American Scout leaders wore decortations much like military ribbons, but with returning soldiers becoming volunteers it was decided that it could get too confusing.
