Abstract: We show that every two-bridge knot $K$ of crossing number $N$ admits a polynomial parametrization $x=T_3(t),y=T_b(t),z=C(t)$ where $T_k(t)$ are the Chebyshev polynomials and $b+degC=3N$. If $C(t)=T_c(t)$ is a Chebyshev polynomial, we call such a knot a harmonic knot. We give the classification of harmonic knots for $ale3.$ Most results are derived from continued fractions and their matrix representations.
