6_1 is also known as "Stevedore's Knot" (see e.g. [1]), and as the pretzel knot P(5,-1,-1).

6_1 is a ribbon knot (drawings by Yoko Mizuma):

isotopy to a ribbon
6_1 has two slice disks, by Scott Carter
Scott Carter notes that 6_1 bounds two distinct slice disks. He says: "this was spoken of in Fox's Example 10, 11, and 12 in a Quick Trip through Knot Theory ... BTW, the cover of Carter and Saito's Knotted Surfaces and Their Diagrams contains an illustration of such a slice disk". A picture is on the right.

Same Jones Polynomial (up to mirroring, ): {}

Vassiliev invariants

V2 and V3: (-2, 1)
V2,1 through V6,9:
V2,1 V3,1 V4,1 V4,2 V4,3 V5,1 V5,2 V5,3 V5,4 V6,1 V6,2 V6,3 V6,4 V6,5 V6,6 V6,7 V6,8 V6,9

V2,1 through V6,9 were provided by Petr Dunin-Barkowski <barkovs@itep.ru>, Andrey Smirnov <asmirnov@itep.ru>, and Alexei Sleptsov <sleptsov@itep.ru> and uploaded on October 2010 by User:Drorbn. Note that they are normalized differently than V2 and V3.

Khovanov Homology

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 0 is the signature of 6 1. Nonzero entries off the critical diagonals (if any exist) are highlighted in red.
