1. A method, comprising:
predicting, by a computing device and based on a simulation model for a plurality of knit structures of a knit design, a deformation of a knit structure of the plurality of knit structures;
modifying, by the computing device, the knit design to compensate for the deformation associated with the knit design, wherein the modifying comprises duplicating one or more portions of the knit structure; and
sending, to a knitting machine, knitting instructions associated with the modified knit design.
