Abstract: A Chebyshev knot is a knot which admits a parametrization of the form $x(t)=T_a(t);y(t)=T_b(t);z(t)=T_c(t+phi),$ where $a,b,c$ are pairwise coprime, $T_n(t)$ is the Chebyshev polynomial of degree $n,$ and $phiinRR.$ Chebyshev knots are non compact analogues of the classical Lissajous knots. We show that there are infinitely many Chebyshev knots with $phi=0.$ We also show that every knot is a Chebyshev knot.
