{{Rolfsen Knot Page]], which actually produces this page.
{{Rolfsen Knot Page]] setting the values of all the parameters appropriately.
The trefoil is perhaps the easiest knot to find in "nature", and is topologically equivalent to the interlaced form of the common Christian and pagan "triquetra" symbol [12]:
Logo of Caixa Geral de Depositos, Lisboa [1]
|
A knot consists of two harts in Kolam [2]
|
A basic form of the interlaced Triquetra; as a Christian symbol, it refers to the Trinity

Non-prime (compound) versions
Two trefoils (single-closed-loop version of the "granny knot" of practical knot-tying).
Two trefoils (single-closed-loop version of the "square knot" of practical knot-tying)
Three trefoils (symmetrical).
Four trefoils (Celtic or pseudo-Celtic decorative knot which fits in square)
Three trefoils along a closed loop which itself is knotted as a trefoil.
Sum of four trefoils, Multan, Pakistan
For configurations of two trefoils along a closed loop which are prime, see 8_15 and 10_120. For a configuration of three trefoils along a closed loop which is prime, see K13a248. For a prime link consisting of two joined trefoils, see L10a108.

Further Quantum Invariants
Further quantum knot invariants for 3_1.
The braid index of 3_1 is only 2, so it's easy to calculate lots of quantum invariants.

The coefficients of the monomials are shown, along with their alternating sums (fixed , alternation over ). The squares with yellow highlighting are those on the "critical diagonals", where or , where -2 is the signature of 3 1. Nonzero entries off the critical diagonals (if any exist) are highlighted in red.
