Can a trefoil knot be stretched to look like a triangle with three knots at the vertices?
Can a trefoil knot be stretched to look like a triangle with three knots at the vertices, like in the right side of the image below, or is that transformation impossible to happen? If possible, what is the nature of the crossings that has to occur at the three corners of the triangle like figure on the right hand side? !enter image description here
