Trouble with Ribbing!

How-to Questions
1

I am working on a beautiful pattern http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/jacques-cousteau-hat

The thing is, Im having trouble with ribbing. Im noticing that I am gathering extra yarn between the the knit and pearl stitches. Im not sure what I am doing wrong.

I am switching the yarn from front to back, but I cant figure out why there is so much extra space between the stitches.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Make sure that you switch the yarn back and forth [I]between[/I] the needles, and every time you switch from knit the purl or back again.
Extra yarn between the stitches is called a YO, done on purpose in some cases, but an easy error to make in ribbing.
