There is no special significance to the yarmulke as a specific type of head covering. Its light weight, compactness and discreteness make it a convenient choice for head cover. There is no connection however, between the yarmulke and the similar skullcap worn by the Pope.
Yarmulkes are available in almost every size and style you can imagine. Small children generally use small diameter yarmulkes, while grown ups generally use larger yarmulkes. It is recently common to see colorful yarmulkes, especially among young children and young men at their twenty's.

Wearing a kippa is an ancient custom for Jews to cover their heads during prayer. This probably derives from the fact that in Eastern cultures, it is a sign of respect to cover the head (the custom in Western cultures is the opposite: it is a sign of respect to remove one's hat). Thus, by covering the head during prayer, one showed respect for god and to show that they were servants of god. Whatever the reason given, wearing kippa has always been regarded more as a custom rather than a commandment.
Why is wearing a kippah important?
The kippah is a head covering, as well as a source of pride for the Jew. In Judaism, covering one's head with kippot is a sign of respect for God. Traditionally, all male visitors to a synagogue (Jews and non - Jews alike) are obliged to wear a kippot or other head covering, although many women in the liberal streams of Judaism have taken to wearing them as well.
Many Jews wear a kippah all the time, both as a statement of being Jewish, and as an acknowledgment of God's constant presence. There are no specific rules on the shape of the kippah, the fabric of the kippah, the colors of the kippah or its patterns. As so, Kippot manufacturers can integrate lots of creativity in their production.
