In planking my boat, I am forced to clear out knots and fill
them. What I do is drill out the knot and then epoxy in a plug made
from the same material.
However, I'm painting the planks so there's no visual issues.

see something like

which will give you some more ideas.
Actually the knot will look better than a patch IMO.
I usually go for the nice rustic, color varying look.

Plan your parts so that the knot falls in waste material.
