Rimless Black Kippah – 6 Panel Cotton Yarmulke

A rimless black cotton kippah — six panels of matte black twill seamed straight to a folded edge, with no contrast rim band interrupting the line. The result is quieter than a rimmed kippah and reads as a single piece of fabric from any distance. Sold by Judaica Square in Lakewood, NJ.

Perfect for

This is the workhorse black yarmulka — the one that goes to school every day, gets replaced twice a year, and never has to be thought about. Six panels give a rounder crown than a four-panel, which suits a fuller head of hair, and the rimless edge means nothing catches or frays along the band. The size range runs unusually wide here, from a size 1 for a small boy up to a size 7 and a 22cm flat for adults who need real coverage.

Why customers love it

Cotton washes, and a black cotton kippah forgives everything a school day can do to it. Rimless construction also sits flatter under a hat, which matters if you wear one. Judaica Square already carries the 6 Panel Kippah – Black Cotton Yarmulke, which has a rim, and the Rimless Kippah – Black Cotton Yarmulke, which is four-panel — this one is the combination of both, six panels and rimless. The 6 Panel Kippah – Navy Cotton Yarmulke is the same build in navy.

Frequently asked questions

What does rimless mean on a kippah?
There is no separate band of fabric sewn around the bottom edge. The panels are folded and stitched directly, so the yarmulka has one continuous surface.

Is a 6 panel or 4 panel kippah better?
Six panels curve more gradually and tend to sit better on a larger or fuller head; four panels give a slightly more angular dome. It is comfort and preference, not formality.

What size kippah for a bar mitzvah boy?
Size 4 fits most 12–13 year olds, and size 5 is the standard adult size he will grow into.

Can a black cotton kippah be embroidered for a bar mitzvah?
Yes — name and date in silver or gold thread is the usual request, with no minimum order. Message us on WhatsApp.

How do I wash it?
Hand wash cold, air dry flat. Do not tumble dry a shaped kippah.
