contents We prove that for any knot $K$, there exists a one-vertex triangulation of the $3$-sphere containing an edge forming $K$. The proof is constructive, and based on fully augmented links. We use our method to produce ``complicated'' simplicial triangulations of the $3$-sphere that we show are smallest possible, up to a constant multiplicative factor.
