An example method of manufacturing a knitted fabric that includes a non-knitted structure occurs in accordance with a programmed knit sequence for a multi-dimensional knitting machine. The method includes, providing a non-knitted structure to the multi-dimensional knitting machine at a point in time when a fabric structure has a first knit portion, wherein the first knit portion is formed based on a first type of knit pattern. The method also includes, after the providing of the non-knitted structure, following the programmed knit sequence to automatically adjust the multi-dimensional knitting machine to use a second type of knit pattern, distinct from a first type of knit pattern, to accommodate the non-knitted structure within a second knit portion that is adjacent to the first knit portion within the fabric structure.

An example wearable device that includes a conductive deformable fabric is described herein. The conductive deformable fabric has a conductive trace that has a non-extendable fixed length along a first axis, and the conductive trace is sewn into a fabric structure to produce a conductive deformable material. The fabric structure includes a stitch pattern that facilitates the conductive trace to unfold and fold in an oscillating fashion to allow the conductive trace to expand and contract, respectively, along the first axis without exceeding the fixed length of the conductive trace. The conductive deformable material is positioned within the wearable device such that when the wearable device is worn, the stitch pattern is over a joint of the user to allow the stitch pattern to expand or contract along with the movement of the joint.
