Figure8knot-parametricequation.png(700 × 600 pixels, file size: 21 KB, MIME type: image/png)

Representation of 4_1 knot generated from trigonometric parametric equations x=(2+cos(2t))*cos(3t) and y=(2+cos(2t))*sin(3t)

That curve actually turns out to be the same as the curve generated by the polar-coordinates equation r=2+sin(2θ/3), except rotated by 45 degrees, so this image is in fact somewhat redundant to Image:Figure8knot-rose-limacon-curve.png (they differ only in that this image has a narrower stroke width).

Self-made, declared to be in public domain, generated from the following PostScript source code:
