I need something that would be considered masculine but also unisex. Nothing too fancy. Just a great simple beanie/ribbed cap.
I tried that site. It doesn't quite have what I am looking for.

Try asking the forums at Craftster.org. Everyone on ther is really supportive and often post free tutorials on the things they have made, or probably have a better idea as to where some free paterns might be.
Also, for the ribbed look, you'd be better off knitting. It would be super easy to knit too! Just make a tube and tie up one end.

Here is a page of nothing but crocheted hats. There are a couple of beenies there. They have a bunch of others that may work for you as well.
Have fun!
