In summary

From Middle Dutch knippen, further etymology unknown. Directly related only with Middle Low German knippen. Probably onomatopoeic.
The sense “to blink” may, at least in part, be due to conflation with knijpen (“to squeeze”). Compare de ogen toeknijpen (“to screw up one’s eyes”); also Low German knippen and kniepen both in the sense of “to blink”, German kniepen. See also Dutch knipperen.
