The last row with any gap between the garter border will be the row of six. Make that row 32 of the pattern.

8 - 30
10 - 28
12 - 26
14 - 24
16 - 22
18 - 20
20 - 18
22 - 16
24 - 14
26 - 12
28 - 10
30 - 8
32 - 6
34 - 4
36 - 2
38 - 36
40 - 34
42 - 32
44 - 30
46 - 28
48 - 26

But okay; I cast on 48; row 1 was 48, and garter; row 2 also 48; row 3 decreased to 46; row 4, 46; so row 5 is the first pattern row, and will be decreasing to 44, which means, aha!, I am to begin with row 29 of the pattern.

Thanks for being with me while I thought that through out loud. :-)
