How to measure your tension/gauge
It`s important to check your gauge:
Make sure that the measurements on your project will be according to the pattern. Always make a little swatch.
If it says in the pattern that the gauge should be 17 stitches and 22 row equals 4 x 4 inches (10x10cm) on needle 5mm/ US 8, cast on 20 stitches on needle 5mm/US8 and knit stockinette back and forth over 24 rows in height.
Place a ruler on top of your swatch and count the number of stitches pr 4 inch/10 cm vertically and horizontally. If you have more then 17 stitches, the stitches er to small. Try with a bigger needle. If you have less 17 stitches, the stitches are to big. Try with a smaller needle.
When you have figured out what needle to use you are ready to start. Remember it`s smart to check your gauge several times while you are knitting to.
