Painter by day, knitter by night. Or more usually, vice versa.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and am currently residing in NYC. My grandmother taught me how to knit when I was 5 years old and I’ve been picking up skills here and there since. I really got into knitting after discovering the Webs store in western Massachusetts, where I went to college. I started designing seriously during the 2020 Covid lockdown in Italy (where I had been living/painting for some years), and now I want to share my patterns with you all.

I hope you enjoy knitting my patterns as much as I enjoyed designing them! A lot of love goes into each design, and I hope that love reaches you too. If you have any questions or need pattern support, please feel free to PM me here.

I’d love to see your wonderful projects here or on instagram! Simply tag your projects #rinakimknits on both platforms and @rina.kim.knits on Instagram.
