hmmm, I'm aware of a basketweave stitch in KNITTING, but NOT in crochet.
Also, if it's a BLANKET, which is usually either square or rectangular, I'm at a
loss as to why you'd even NEED to DECREASE??

Picked up a free pattern at Michaels that is titled:

Crochet Corner to Corner Throw.
The decrease directions are as follows:
With CC, slip stitch across first 3 dc *(slip st, ch 3, 3 dc) all in the
next ch-3 space of previous row; repeat from * to last ch-3 space; slip st
in last space; turn, do NOT make a block in last space-95 blocks.

If you need anymore help, I can scan and send the pattern directions on to
you. (Email me at: Butterfly-Wings at cox dot net)

I know it's been a bit since you requested the info, and I did remember
having the pattern, it just took a while to put my hands back on it.
