Converting low resistance pot to high resistance ?



Over the years I've often done the opposite by putting a resistor between
wiper and low end and another from wiper to high end.
just in case I've missed something over the years is there a way of say
converting a 20K pot to a 100K pot, with full range from bottom to top ?
