What occasion will you make Kippahs for?

[angelacannuli]

Hi Tara, I used your pattern to make about 80 Kippahs for a wedding. I used a kaleidoscope quilt pattern which I first saw from Donna Jordan to cut the fabric and each Kippah came out as an individual design.
I slightly altered your process because I don’t like hand sewing, I sewed all the seams, and joined the two parts, leaving a gap along the edge for turning. Then I topstitched the edges to close the gap, which also gave a more finished look. The result is super cute and the bride was super happy.
Thank you for the great tutorial.

Thank you for the pattern and the instructions. I will be making these for some friends. I appreciate what you have passed on to those of us that sew!!

[erinnsmith]

This will be my third attempt at a kippah. Fingers crossed!!! The other attempts were crocheted, and loom knitted. They were either too flat or too pointy.
Thanks for the instructions and video!

I AM A PROFESSIONAL TAILOR. A YAMAKA OR KIPPA IS SEWN FROM SIX SHELL PIECES AND DOES NOT NEED A LINING. IT SHOULD ALSO EXTENT DOWN TO ONE INCH ABOVE THE EAR. OTHERWIE YOU SEEM TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU FOR THE TUTORIAL

I am a kiltmaker and are making Kippahs for friends using the Jewish tartan from Rabbi Jacobs in Scotland. Thank you for posting this it is a great pattern. If the child is 4 do i make the pattern 20% smaller?

Thank you for taking the time to teach us how to make a kippah! It looks great!

[rickharris]

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! You mention a red line on the pattern, I don't see a red line. Is the red line the top of the kippah pattern?

[julieconrady]

Thank you so much! Any idea how I would adjust the measurements for a child's kippah? Kindergarten, tiny tiny! ☺️

Hi Tara! I am your new subscriber and just found this video. I need to make a kippah for my husband. He has a very large had, 23" in circumference, he is totally bald and wants his kippah 6" dip. Any advice on how to do it? I don't need it reversible. Thank you in advance.

shalom, Im a Filipino who wants to be converted to Judaism. I want to make my own Kippah!

[deborahbrandon-iv]

Should the center pieces just kind of nest together from the points of stitching? Does that make sense? :-) i love this pattern and your tutorial and feel I am missing something obvious about how the center is secured.

[parathings]

Do you accept custom orders? Would you also accept fabric bring sent to you?

[rickharris]

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! You mention a red line on the pattern, I don't see a red line. Is the red line at the top of the kippah pattern? I did print it to scale, but that line is only 3/8". Thank you for your help. Catherine

[corinneweihrauch]
