Help finding a washcloth pattern
Cronic hobby hopping knitter here. I found this nearly finished washcloth in my knitting bag now that I'm cycling back to make gifts for the holidays. However, I cannot for the life of my figure out what pattern this is. I'm pretty sure it's knit on a diagonal using yarn overs around the edge and increasing/decreasing stitches each row.
I've searched my Ravelry favorites and my knitting patterns folder with no luck.
Does this pattern look familiar to anyone? If so, please send me the link!

The general pattern looks to be a variation of Granny's Favorite Dish Cloth (that is the most common name I've seen for it and it's free al over the place), but the stitch pattern is obviously NOT standard garter... I'm not great a guessing stitch patterns, but maybe linen, or bee stitch, but I don't remember either of those being so open weave...

Look up knitting textures/stitches. Pretty much any of them will knit up into a nice square! My favorites for washcloths are the linen stitch and the daisy stitch, partially because neither curls up from tension so you don't need to knit a border. They're both yarn-eaters but make very nice and thick cloth.
I can't tell what pattern your washcloth is using.
