Hmm... I've been doing some thinking and calculating. I realized that maybe you are doing stockinette stitching instead of garter stitching.
In garter stitching the ratio between stitches and rows are about 1:2 therefore the decreases to get a triangle is one in each corner every other row, but for stockinette this ratio is closer to 1:1.5 (I got this from checking the gauges printed on yarn) so to get an even triangle you should do a decrease for every two out of three rows. Might be worth a try...
