I’ve been learning to make alphas but my knots always look long instead of neat squares, making the patterns look “stretched”, is there a way to prevent this? Do I have to tie them looser/tighter?

Tying knots looser in alphas is generally recommended.

To make the knots more square, you can also try
- using thicker base strings/doubling base strings
- pushing the knots up with a ruler or something similar after each row knotted
