How to decrease in ribbing?
I'm making this pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/libr...n-up-baby-wrap however I like the look of the ribbed one, which is slightly different from the original pattern, but its just a 2x2 ribbing.

Now... what do I do when it comes to the decreases? I've never decreased with ribbing without a pattern. Do I keep the knits in the same spot and P2tog to keep that ribbing intact?

Sorry if this is a newb question, i'm clueless without patterns!!

Right you can dec in the purl ribs, do half of them on the first dec round, then half on the next decrease round so then you'd be doing k2 p1. Then dec on the knit ribs, half and half again. Then you've got k1 p1 and just do k2tog around.
