Ok, I know it’s no help that I don’t know what yarn I used. But the point is that Statnerd’s technique works. I really didn’t pay good attention, and it still worked. Thanks, Statnerd!

I think it will also work with a long tail cast on, divide the no. of stitches per repeat in half, then add 2. 35 sts in the washcloth here. I found a couple more leftovers that I’ll try with 41 sts.

The edging is from here. But I changed it a bit.
