ii
Take the twist knot whose standard diagram has 2020 half-twists in its twist region and two crossings in its clasp. Every nontrivial twist knot has Seifert genus one. This diagram is a reduced alternating knot diagram, so the Tait crossing-number theorem says that its 2020+2=2022 crossings realize the crossing number of a knot. Thus this knot has gs​(K2​)=1 and c(K2​)=2022.
