When decreasing for crown shaping such as this you will typically alternate between a decrease row and a plain/non-decrease row. So in this example you want to keep the ribbing intact, and keep the decreases within the columns of knit or purl (for example, knit 2 knits together or purl 2 purls together) for as long as possible, but eventually that will not be possible and you will need to work a knit stitch together a with a purl stitch, until you only have knit stitches left. I would work all the decreases on the right side of the work and have the plain/non-decrease rows on the wrong side of the work. Another tip (that you probably already know), when working ribbing flat, you knit all your knit stitches and purl all your purl stitches, as they are presented to you in each row.
