The aim of this paper is to endow a monoid structure on the set S of all oriented knots(links) under the operation ${\biguplus}$, called addition of knots. Moreover, we prove that there exists a homomorphism of monoids between ($S_d,\;{\biguplus}$) to (N, +), where $S_d$ is a subset of S with an extra condition and N is the monoid of non negative integers under usual addition.
