To rearrange stitches, slip the first and third stitches from the left needle to the right needle, temporarily (and carefully!) dropping the second stitch off the left needle. Place the dropped stitch back on the left needle, then move the slipped stitches from the right needle back to the left needle.
Use the second circular needle when the number of stitches on the crown gets too few to use with one circular needle.
