Description
The Checkered Kippah is a four-panel black and white checkerboard yarmulke, sold in 9 sizes (dome 1 to 6 plus 14, 16 and 18cm flat) at $9.99. Small, even black and white squares cover every panel like a racing flag, and because each panel is cut at an angle, the squares bend and turn where the seams meet, giving the crown a swirling look from above. The rim is cut on the bias, so the checks along the edge become a neat row of diamonds. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

Why customers choose it
Nothing else in the range is as graphic as this: small, crisp black and white squares that read from across the street. The angled panels make the checks swirl at the crown, and the bias-cut rim turns them into diamonds, so it looks designed rather than just cut from a flag. It is also one of the few designs with a small 14cm flat for little ones.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as the Black Checker kippah?
No. Black Checker is a charcoal suiting with a thin tan and off-white windowpane. This one is a true black and white checkerboard.
Why do the squares look like diamonds at the edge?
The rim strip is cut on the diagonal, so the squares turn into diamonds around the band.
What is the smallest size?
Dome size 1 or the 14cm flat, both suited to toddlers.
Is it good for a racing-themed birthday?
Yes. The pattern looks like a chequered racing flag.
Largest size?
Dome size 6 or the 18cm flat covers most teens and men.
