Tips

1
Square knots use about 4× the finished length. Spiral knots use even more (5×).
2
Always add extra for fringe — it's better to trim than to extend.

Open formula

Cord Per Strand = Project Length × Knot Multiplier + Fringe
Total = Cord Per Strand × Number of Cords

Multiplier varies by knot type: square 4×, spiral 5×, half hitch 3.5×, gathering 3×. Adjusts for knot density.
