Here is the promised Kippah pattern. Actually it is really 2 patterns in one. If you skip the lace portion and instead cast on the same number of stitches, knit 8 rows in garter stitch and follow the same directions for the decreases, you will end up with a beautiful man's Kippah!

That's yarmulke. :) Beautiful work.
Thanks for the post Donna.
Beautiful work. So good to know you have been busy. We are in Petaluma for now but I feel drawn east in spite of myself. Even my son wants to go to high school outside of California (at least I have 3 1/2 years to figure this one out).
The Petaluma knitting circle continues now on Mondays at the new Peets on the East Side. Ruth and I have plans to start a bilingual English Spanish knitting/crochet group at Lolitas (a Taqueria/Carniceria/Tienda/Soccer Store) on Lakeville in Petaluma.
I continue to write and do a bit of teaching in pediatrics....
So glad you are back to posting.
Best,
Mimi
Sockpixie, thanks for this pattern. I made one last week out of some KP Essential Twist yarn, and it blocked out so well. I was very impressed. I gave it to a female Rabbi friend, it matched the socks I made from the same yarn.
This is great! Thanks for the pattern, I'm going to find some yarn and try it this week.
oy vay, lovely yarmulke! what a lovely idea.
Thank you so much for the pattern. I changed it slightly and used crochet cotton to make it for my soon to be born great nephew's bris! I love it.
For what it's worth, yarmulke and kippah are the same thing. Kippah is from modern Hebrew, while yarmulke is probably from Yiddish.
