Here is my modified ballband dishcloth. I found that if you cast on an additional 4 stitches.
The original pattern calls for 45 + (my additional) 4 = 49 should be your new cast on amount.
On the right side rows I knit the first two stitches and slipped the last two stitches WYIB.
On the wrong side rows I purled the first two stitches and slipped the last two stitches WYIF.
It did make a nicer edge than the original pattern.
I am sure if I took the time to block it out it would look perfect.
But, I don't think I want to block out something I am washing dishes with.
