Rimless Black Kippah – 6 Panel Cotton Yarmulke

This is a rimless six-panel black cotton kippah, made in 11 sizes — the widest size range in the iKippah cotton line — and priced at $9.99. Six panels of matte black twill are seamed straight to a folded edge, with no contrast rim band interrupting the line. From any distance it reads as a single piece of fabric, which is the whole point of a rimless build. Sold by Judaica Square, shipping from Lakewood, NJ.

How this compares

Best for

• The everyday school or yeshiva kippah that gets replaced twice a year
• A fuller head of hair — six panels curve more gradually than four
• Wearing under a hat, where a rim band adds bulk
• Anyone needing an unusually large size: this runs to a size 7 and a 22cm flat

Not the right choice if

• You want a visible rim or contrast edge as a design feature
• You want a dress kippah with texture — this is deliberately plain
• You need warmth for deep winter; corduroy or velvet is the usual switch
• You want a four-panel silhouette, which sits slightly more angular

Why customers choose it

Cotton washes, and black cotton forgives everything a school day can do to it. The rimless construction also sits flatter under a hat, and there is no band along the bottom edge to fray — which is where a thin rimmed kippah usually gives up first.

Size guide

Numbered sizes are shaped and domed; the cm sizes are flats, measured across the diameter. Sizing is guidance rather than a rule — head shape matters as much as age. If you are between sizes, take the larger one.

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, not formality.

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

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

What is the largest size available?
Size 7, or a 22cm flat if you prefer a low wide profile. That is the broadest coverage in this style.
