"join into round"

[jam]

I'm working on a pattern for the American Girl doll. It's for a poncho. I have it on a circular needle but at this point I'm simply knitting back and forth.

NOW it comes to the body of the poncho. It says Join into the Round. I have no idea how to do this.

Can someone help please?
Thanks

You just put the two ends together and start knitting. It's best to do on a knit row; knit to the end of the row, move the stitches on the left part of the needle to the tip, place a marker and knit what was the other end of the row. Pull up your yarn pretty snug at the join; after a few rows it won't look so weird.
