HELP: Sewing Sleeves to a sweater!

Hello;

I have just finished knitting my first sweater. I’m having a hard time figuring out how to attach sleeves to shoulders. I have no idea which stitch to use. Can someone point me to a video or a set of instructions that can help me with this task? I would be very grateful!

Thank you.
