A household circular knitting machine includes a casing body having a central hollow interior having a circular section, the casing body including a bottom, a cylindrical holder rotatably mounted in the hollow interior of the casing body, the holder having an outer wall on which a first bevel gear is mounted, a ring cam fixed on the casing body so as to be coaxial with the holder, a rotational shaft rotatably mounted on the casing body and having one of two ends on which a second bevel gear is mounted and the other end on which a handle is mounted, the second bevel gear having a smaller diameter than the first bevel gear and meshing with the first bevel gear. Wool yarn is hooked on a hook of every second needle and the handle is operated to rotate the holder so that the knitting needles attached in the vertical grooves respectively are moved up and down by cam action, whereupon the wool yarn is knitted into a fabric, which is discharged out of the casing body through the hollow interior of thereof. At least two support legs are detachably mounted on the bottom of the casing body so as to define, below the casing body, a space through which the knitted fabric is discharged.
