Consolidate Stitches

Consolidate stitches: Divide stitches evenly onto two needles.  Hold these in your left hand with the working yarn on the right as if you were going to resume the knitting (The stitches to be worked are on the front needle and the stitches just worked are on the back needle.)  You will now slip all stitches onto a third needle in your right hand beginning with the stitch on the back needle and alternating with the stitchs on the front needle. All stitches are now on the needle in your right hand.

Divide Stitches evenly between two needles
and hold them in your left hand. (For tubular pieces, be
sure that the stitches you just worked are on the back needle.)

Slip the first stitch on the front needle, from the
left needle onto the right needle.

Now do the same thing with each of the remaining
stitches alternating between stitches on the front
and back needles until you have "consolidated" all stitches.
