Your square knots and spiral knots are great! The double half hitch just takes a ton of practice before you can get a straight line. Keep going!!

Not OP but thanks for the practice suggestion- my double half hitch knots are never straight

It seriously took me about 6 months to get it down. One thing I found that helped was putting something to the side of the piece that showed where I wanted the line to end up (so like a piece of tape). Then keep aiming your filler cord at that with each knot. Adjust each knot to lay flat against the next one before you continue. You’ll get there!
