An improved circular knitting machine which provides for semiautomatic doffing of large diameter rolls of knit fabric. The doffing of the fabric can be accomplished by a woman operator without strain.

The unique spreader bar includes a support member having a wheel member and a convex portion adjacent the wheel member to guide a fabric around the wheel.
