There is a story told about R' JB Soloveitchik in YU in the late 1960s, perhaps early 1970s, when "Pepsi Cola cap" yarmulkas -- knitted kippot not much bigger than such a soda cap -- were in vogue in some circles. A student arrived wearing one. RJBS took off his hat, adjusted his own (rather large) black yarmulke, and noted how interesting it was that a yarmulke always gravitated to a size just large enough to cover the brain...
I think size doesn't really matter as long as there's a kippah on. And what you trully believe is important than the size of it. As long as you're comfortable and knows the true meaning of why you should ear a kippah. :)
I admire the valuable information you offer in your articles. I will bookmark your blog and I am quite sure they will learn lots of new stuff here than anybody else!
