Estimate total cord yardage for your macramé project based on dimensions, knot pattern, and fringe length.
| Pattern / Knot Type | Multiplier | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Square Knot (open) | 3–4× | Most common; versatile |
| Square Knot (dense) | 4–5× | Tightly knotted sections |
| Spiral / Half Hitch | 5–7× | Uses more cord per inch |
| Lark's Head Knot | — | Fold + mount; count doubled |
| Fringe only | 2× | Add finished fringe length × 2 |
| Braiding | 2.5–3× | Depends on braid tightness |
