Let be the knot above, and let the homomorphism
taking a knot
to its companion knot
be faithful (i.e., taking the preferred
longitude and meridian of the original torus to the referred longitude and latitude
of the tubular neighborhood). Then
is an untwisted doubled knot of
. Otherwise,
is a doubled knot with
twists (Rolfsen 1976, p. 112).
