![]() I have at least one at home that isn't shown here: the as-good-as-disposable yarmulke handed to me at each Bar Mitzvah I attended as a (Catholic) kid, or Jewish wedding as a Catholic friend. Posted by gillyflower at 10:16 AM on Febru Personally, I've knit a lot of hats and I think it's hard enough to knit a disc in the round, much less a convex disc! But there are lots of examples of knitted yarmulkas of various shapes and designs on Ravelry. You CAN knit a yarmulka, though it needs blocking afterwards to hold its shape: Basic Knit Kippah (Yarmulka) in Reverse Stocking Stitch by Jennifer Tocker, for example. (For the basic item: Crocheted Passover yarmulka courtesy of the fabulous Manhattan yarn/craft shop Purl Soho.) If you've admired these kippot in your community and want to crochet one of your own, I found this book (a design guide rather than a beginner's guide, but with some really neat designs): The Complete Guide to Yarmulka Design by Ricky Wolbrom and Mati Jacobovitz. Most people don't know the difference between crocheted, knitted, and woven material, in my experience, unless they are particularly savvy clothing shoppers or actually do one of the said crafts. I do, however, understand how the author could be so knowledgeable about Judaism and not know that kippot srugot are generally crocheted, not knitted. Posted by Anne Neville at 10:12 AM on Febru My in-laws' synagogue has a sign outside the sanctuary asking men to cover their heads during services. The satin or other cloth ones are the cheapest, but some people do velvet or suede ones instead.Ĭonservative Jewish synagogues often have bins of yarmulkes outside the sanctuary, for people who wear yarmulkes during services but not at other times. We have a bunch of leftover wedding yarmulkes at our house, as well as yarmulkes we've gotten at other people's weddings. This is also common for bar or bat mitzvahs. They did have our names and the date stamped on the inside. We bought yarmulkes in bulk for our wedding, in a color that coordinated with the other wedding colors. It would also be acceptable to keep your yarmulke after the ceremony (though as a non-Jew, you might not have much use for it, and it would also be okay not to keep it). Was accepting those yarmulkes and wearing them throughout the ceremony the correct, respectful thing to do? ![]()
