A Torus Knot of Type (7,11)

This is an image of a knot on a torus that winds seven times around one hole and 11 times around the other. The torus, which is a product of two circles of radius one, is embedded in the three sphere of radius the square root of two in the standard way. The three sphere is embedded in four dimensional Euclidean space in the standard way. The picture you see is the image of the knot just described under stereographic projection from the three sphere in four space to three space.
