Chefalo Knot, is a vanishing knot credited and named after Chefalo.

Quadruple Vanishing Knot was first published by Stanyon in his "New Handkerchief Tricks" (first series) under date 1900. And again under by Ellis Stanyon in Magic World in 1913.[1]

The first known publication of what is now known as the Chefalo knot was in 1723 in Récréations Mathématiques et Physiques by French mathematician Jacques Ozanam (1640-1718), a new edition by Grandin who added a new chapter entitled "Tours de gibecière". The history of this dissolving knot is likely much older.
