They are joined at the underarms and the body is worked in the round to the hem with decreases on both sides, and finished with twisted rib hem. Stitches are then picked up around the armhole for the sleeve and the cap is shaped with short rows. The sleeve is then knit in the round and tapered toward the cuff and finished with twisted rib.
