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.

Wat doe ik nu als ik bij het proeflapje wel het aantal steken goed heb maar het aantal naalden te veel? Dan kom ik toch niet goed uit bij de teltekening van de Scandinavische trui?
