It's neat. Yet not to be confused with a traditional knotwork trefoil... Which can then be woven into itself like a Sierpinski triangle and then connecting those into a star form, if you're crazy enough...

It's fairly easy to create, and the procedure translates almost directly to Blender. The 3dsmax tutorial is here:

The Blender version will probably take about the same, but I'm working out a few techniques that might make it even faster to create in Blender. TokiFX came up with a nice translation of the tutorial on his own here:
