Decrease Row - CH 3, Sk next 3 DCs. SL ST around the CH 3 post of previous rows first square, Ch 3, 3 DC down post
Skip next three DCs. SL ST around CH 3 post of next square.

Continue by ALTERNATING BETWEEN
*Increase Rows* (to make the rectangle taller, but now wider) and *Decrease Rows* (which will maintain the width) until you "close up" the afghan with the last square.
After Finishing last square - CH 3, turn, and SL ST around CH 3 post of previous row. This will even out the sides of the afghan
