Looking for Pattern ~ Help Appreciated

Hello Friends!  I will be posting some more later, but for now wanted to ask for help.  My husband’s aunt is working on a corner to corner, rectangular afghan, in a dc shell stitch pattern.  She is 1/2 way through and can’t remember how to do the decrease rows.  I have never made one, but I told her I’d look online and see if I could find her some help.  I am not coming up with much, other than square ones, online so thought I’d reach out to my blogging friends to see if any of you might be able to help. I will appreciate your help, and I know she will as she only has another month to get the afghan finished. Thanks!!!

  2. Hi Rita. Sorry, I couldn't find a rectangle corner-to-corner. I did find a scarf pattern if that would be of any help.

  3. Rita - you might try this: http://www.crochetspot.com/how-to-crochet-corner-to-corner-diagonal-box-stitch/. I don't know if it is the same pattern, but I've made it (many times) and it should show her how to decrease, even if the pattern isnt' quite the same.
