The quick-to-knit cumulonimbus beanie is so named because the fluffy sproingy tonal grey yarn my sister handspun reminded me of stormy clouds. The lace in the pattern provides a little ventilation. The cables were inspired by cumulonimbus clouds which seem to grow vertically in columns.

Designed to coordinate with Cumulonimbus Mittens & Cumulonimbus Socks.
