    I think I learned about this from Wikipedia. In 2019 I posted this on Twitter:

    Here’s my favourite immersion of Klein’s bottle. The region just inside each loop of the figure 8 is continuous with that just outside the other loop, so a Möbius-like-twist connects the two sides.

    Then by splitting the surface in two (locally), you get an immersion of a torus!

    A figure 8 is swept around a circle, rotating around its centre by 180 degrees to form a surface that is an immersion of Klein’s bottle.

A second version has two figure 8s formed by splitting the original into two parallel curves.
