^*These knots are listed as 10₁₆₂‑10₁₆₆ in Rolfsen due to the Perko Pair.

When listing prime knots with crossing number 11 or more, we use the Dowker-Thistlethwaite name of the knot. See KnotInfo for more information.

All knots with mosaic number 6 and crossing number 11 are given here. None of these have tile number 32.
