So for a basic macrame square knot, I measure my knotting cords to be 3 times the final length I want. For more complex knots, I usually use 4x just to be safe, and when I'm working with really long cords, I wrap each knotting cord on a kumihimo bobbin or around a piece of a straw or something. It's a huge help in keeping everything from getting all tangled up!

The scrapkins would look so cute if you made the "ridges" of the pumpkin on them. Use a bit of yarn and sew segments.

[@ShinycrazyJenn]

So what if you tied yarn loops to vertically on the scrapkin to create the "segments" of the pumpkin. Depending on how tight you could make it more squat or leave it taller. And then if you line up the loop knots where your putting the stem in it'll all be hot glued together. Good luck!
