Tinieknits

Lex is an animator and artist based in Mumbai, and the founder of Tinieknits. They began crocheting in 2019 after growing up around handmade practices at home, where sewing, embroidery, knitting, and other crafts were a part of daily life. Over time, crochet became their primary medium, especially miniature crochet and amigurumi, which allowed them to combine form, character, and storytelling in small, tactile ways. Tinieknits started as a college project and slowly grew into a full-fledged brand built around handmade accessories and small creatures meant to be carried, used, and lived with. Their process is slow and hands-on, shaped by hours of repetition, focus, and experimentation. Each piece is crocheted by hand, with time varying based on size, complexity, and colours. Community, identity, and self-expression play an important role in their work, with the brand created as a space where people can find objects that feel personal, comforting, and reflective of who they are.
