## This knot is a very challenging knot to get right.  We need to
## impose sixfold rotational symmetry, and also reflectional symmetry.

## To do this we choose nodes 1,24,8,9,15,16 as the independent ones.
## The idea is to choose nodes in the segment from 11 oclock to
## midday; but note the odd choice of 24.  We choose 24 because node 4
## has a peculiar requirement, namely that it is (a) on the line 11
## o'clock line, and (b) the handle has to be at the 2 o'clock
## direction.  And there is no functionality to do this.  So we choose
## node 24 as the independent one.
