    The pattern says:
    Note:
    Vest is worked from the center of Back to center of
    Right Front. Stitches are then picked up along opposite
    edge of foundation chain and worked to center of Left
    Front.

    LEFT BACK
    Working along opposite side of foundation chain at center
    of Back, work 26 (30, 32, 38) scs. Work as for Right Side
    reversing shaping.


    It doesn't explain how to join the yarn though. So you place the right Back and front piece right side facing you with the opposite side of the starting chain you made way back at the beginning of the Right Back. Then insert the hook into the back-side of the first ch, and draw a loop of yarn through, then ch1, then sc in same ch, then work the number of sc indicated across for the size you want.
    To reverse the shaping you have to make the decreases for the armhole and neck line to match those on the Right side.
    Hope this helps.
