May I move the timeline a bit? When I came up in 1953 from Miami Beach to attend the 9th grade in YU's Brooklyn Talmudical Academy, my late Aunt Rosalind Lauer made a knitted Kippah for me. It was blue with a red band running around it near the edge. Others in that school and in other Yeshivot (including the Yeshiva of Flatbush where my cousins were students) were already wearing knitted Kippot. Unfortunately, those relatives are no longer with us so I cannot ask about the source or inspiration for those early knitted Kippot. Joseph I. Lauer Brooklyn, New York
