Abstract
An explicit formulation of a third order finite knot invariant is derived from the perturbative expression of the Wilson loop integral along a knotted line in Chern-Simons theory. This is achieved by an appropriate deformation of the knot line in three dimensional space. It is demonstrated that this formulation fulfils the axioms of the Vassiliev invariants. We use our formula in order to calculate the invariant for knots with up to nine crossings and for some torus knots.
