I am using DS, patterns-loungewear-pajamas. I am looking under necklines and I don't see anything with ribbing in it. Do I need to look somewhere else?.......Thanks!

Nope.that neck was not set up for ribbing- if using a jwel neck make sure you lower the depth 1/2 inch or so and widen it slightly.then cut your ribbing to an ~1inch shy of total neck circumference. Pin in place and trim excess.
For around the neck, measure neck opening, cut your ribbing 75% that length. For cuffs on sleeves and legs, measure wrist or ankle and cut ribbing that length. Decide how wide you want the ribbing, double that and add 2 seam allowances. I've never used a pattern for ribbing, just cut to measurements as required.
