Boys Sukkos Kippah – Brown Linen Dov Bear Yarmulke

The Sukkos Dov Bear Kippah is a four-panel brown linen yarmulke for boys, embroidered with a teddy bear holding a lulav and esrog, made in 10 sizes and priced at $9.99. The bear wears his own small black kippah, a navy sweater and tan shorts with tzitzis showing at the sides; the lulav is stitched in two greens and rises past his shoulder, and the esrog sits cupped in his left paw in a warm yellow. The linen is a mid-brown with an open, visible weave. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

How this compares

Best for

• Sukkos — a boy holding his own lulav, wearing a bear holding one too
• The chol hamoed photographs every family ends up taking
• Boys who need the widest flat-size range; this is one of the few with 19cm and 20cm
• A yom tov gift that costs under $10 and still feels like a present

Not the right choice if

• You want a kippah he will wear all year — the motif is firmly Sukkos
• You want a dark, formal kippah for the yom tov seudah — choose velvet
• You dislike visible creasing — linen creases by nature
• You want a dark kippah that hides marks; mid-brown linen shows them

Why customers choose it

Almost every Sukkos item in a boy's wardrobe is something he carries rather than something he wears, which is what makes this one land. The bear is dressed the way he is dressed — kippah, sweater, tzitzis out — and holds the same two minim he has just been handed. Linen is also the right fabric for the season: it breathes in a sukkah that is still warm in early autumn, and the mid-brown sits naturally against schach and wood. The size range runs unusually wide here, from toddler through a 20cm flat, so a father and son can wear the same kippah.

Size guide

Sizing is guidance, not a promise — heads vary. When you are between two sizes, the larger one sits better.

Frequently asked questions

Is this kippah only for Sukkos?
The motif is lulav and esrog, so it reads as Sukkos. Plenty of boys keep wearing it through Cheshvan, but it is bought as a yom tov kippah.

What size kippah for a 4 year old?
Size 2 fits most 4 to 5 year olds. Size 3 is the safer choice if he is tall for his age.

Why is linen a good choice for Sukkos?
Linen breathes, which matters in a sukkah that is still warm in early autumn, and it does not hold heat the way velvet does during a long yom tov seudah.

Will the linen crease?
Yes, and that is normal for linen. A crease falls out if you lay the kippah flat rather than folding it into a pocket.

Can I have his name embroidered on this kippah?
Yes, with no minimum order. Embroidery takes 10 to 14 days plus shipping, so order well ahead of the yom tov you want it for. WhatsApp 732-444-3111 to set it up.

Do you have a 20cm flat in this design?
Yes. This is one of the few Dov Bear kippot that goes up to a 20cm flat, alongside 16cm, 18cm and 19cm.

How do I clean a linen kippah?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and air dry flat. Do not machine wash — linen shrinks and the embroidery pulls.
