Requested by fellow JVPer for High Holy Days.

Generally the pattern is knit from the outside edge and relies on multiples of 6 to evenly decrease. S/M sizes begin with the same number of stitches; Medium just has more “K all” rows to fill it out.
Large is much closer to the original pattern inspiration, adjusted for Sport weight yarn/needles.
Block to have less/more curve as needed.

As an added bonus, consider making seedless watermelon kippahs and letting recipients sew their own seeds in ❤️
