Tutorial

Thanks for this pattern, I love top-down beanies! I learned a way to add ribbing to top-down projects from video on Yarn and Chai channel, Left in Knots has a similar video. I like to finish my hats with ribbing or camel stitch rows. Thanks for all you and the Crowd do.
Love your videos!
When starting on the next row should I be turning my work?
