Ok #knitting community, help me out. Pics below. We have the wrong side where the little stockinette band is on the back side. And then we have the right side where the little stockinette band is on the front. Right?

So the pattern says, "work in garter...ending with a WS row. So that would be the first pic, right? Then you work 6 rows St st, but I've done that three times and the band shows up on the WS.

I think the pattern is wrong? But I don't trust myself enough to say that.
