The invention provides a hosiery machine. The hosiery machine comprises a base, a lower steel ring, a lower cutter stopping structure, a needle cylinder structure, a needle selection device, a middle steel ring and a force receiving cutter. According to the hosiery machine, the force receiving cutter is arranged below the middle steel ring; the middle steel ring comprises a plurality of downward protruding parts which protrude downwards, the downward protruding parts comprise first slopes and second slopes, and the first slopes and the second slopes are connected with each other; the force receiving cutter comprises an ascending slope facing upwards, the ascending slope is opposite to the first slopes, and an ascending channel is reserved between the ascending slope and the first slopes. Hence, a jacquard needle can move along the ascending channel, can be lifted to the position much higher than the position of a previous jacquard needle, and can be independently jacked to a high position, threads different from the color of threads of the previous jacquard needle can be hooked, therefore, sock heels or sock heads with different colors are knitted, and the diversified needs of consumers are met.
