NOTE ON YARN PLANNING: If you are planning to knit a Gentle Rain sweater AND the Gentle Rain hat, plan for your hat yardages separately. While the yardages were calculated to include a security and to give you enough yarn for swatching, the sweater yardages were not specifically calculated to include enough yarn to make the hat.
