1/4 seam allowance

Cut 6 of lining
& 6 of fabric
akityaks 6-Panel
Kippah Pattern
1. Sew each lining panel wedge to the next from
the grey dot to the black dot until you have only
one seam left to complete the dome. Press open
as you go.
2. Sew this last seam in two parts. Sew from the
grey dot 1/3 of the way toward the black dot. Sew
from the black dot 1/3 of the way toward the grey
dot. There should be a gap left in the middle.
3. Sew each exterior panel wedge to the next from
the gray dot to the black dot. Complete the disk.
Press open as you go.
4. OPTIONAL STEP: Set your machine to a medium width zigzag. With kippah exterior facing right-side-
up, zigzag top-stitch over the seam-lines to keep them fat and close any hole that might remain in the
center. I fnd it easiest to begin the top stitching at the crown rather than the rim. Your mileage may vary.
5. Sew the lining to the exterior right-sides-together.
6. Turn the kippah right side out through the gap you left in the lining.
7. Using a wooden stiletto or point turner to force the edges out, press the edge of the kippah.
8. Edge stitch around the kippahs rim.
9. Mattress stitch the gap in the lining closed.

Required Materials:
Less than 1/8th yard bleached muslin for lining
Less than 1/8th yard quilting cotton or other stable (non-stretch) material for exterior
Quality thread in matching colors
A tailors ham makes pressing a lot easier
Optional: interfacing if you prefer a stiffer kippah (fuse or baste interfacing to muslin and treat as one)
Notes:
Be very meticulous about cutting. Your mistakes will be amplifed by 6X.
The child size is truly for the smallest people. Most people over the age of 5 should use the adult size.
Since this is a 6-panel kippah, you can get a vague star pattern by using striped fabric on an angle.
