Ok, so I'm a beginner knitter myself, and probably the last person who should reply to this, but I'm going to do it anyway. 
Any time I've done something ribbed, I've done it like this... let's say I'm going to do a 2x2 rib (which is kind of a medium-ish rib). First I cast on stitches in multiples of 4. Then I do knit 2, purl 2, straight across. Turn and do the same. After an inch or so, you'll start to see the pattern.  You can also play around with the rib and make it as wide as you want - I've done scarves in 3x3 (cast on mult's of 6) and 4x4 (cast on mult's of 8).
Mind you, that's a REALLY basic rib... if you wanted something fancier, that's totally out of my league! Heh.
One thing to remember: a ribbed piece done this way is going to be narrower that something knit flat, so cast on more stitches than you think you'll want!
