  1. The non-orientable 4-genus of a knot [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] is defined to be the minimum first Betti number of a non-orientable surface [Formula: see text] smoothly embedded in [Formula: see text] so that [Formula: see text] bounds [Formula: see text]. We will survey the tools used to compute the non-orientable 4-genus, and use various techniques to calculate this invariant for non-alternating 11 crossing knots. We will also view obstructions to a knot bounding a Möbius band given by the double branched cover of [Formula: see text] branched over [Formula: see text].
